“What about the situation in the dical sector? How many hospitals have been built in the past year?” Arthur asked.
Like education, dical care is a major concern for the well-being of the people. Similarly, it is also one of the important factors for immigrants choosing their destination.
After all, no one wants to live in a place where education and healthcare are lagging. Even if it is not for their own sake, they must also consider their family and offspring.
“Your Highness, up to now, we have built one hospital in each of the six states. However, due to the shortage of dical equipnt and doctors, most hospitals can only accept ordinary patients and cannot handle more difficult diseases,” said Minister Bradford Dillman of Health with a bitter smile.
The dical sector is one of the areas with the lowest focus in Australia at present. In addition, Arthur has not made additional investnts, resulting in a rather bad situation faced by the dical sector. Even if hospitals are built, there is not enough doctors to work and allow the hospitals to function normally.
“Include dical major in our technical schools as well. The dical industry is also an important part of Australia’s developnt, and we must ensure that there are enough doctors in major hospitals in Australia to et the dical needs of the Australian people. In addition, the pace of attracting talent from Europe should not stop. The Ministry of Health can apply for funds and cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attract so dical talents from major European countries, especially the United Kingdom and Germany, to join us,” Arthur said after so thought.
dical care is one of the problems that must be solved as soon as possible. This is not only related to the survival rate of newborns in Australia but also concerns the livelihood issues of all Australians.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Bradford Dillman replied with a slightly better expression and quickly responded.
“The plan to build hospitals can be temporarily halted. Having one hospital in each state is temporarily sufficient for us. I hope that the Ministry of Health’s work in the future can be focused on the construction of small clinics. I want to see small clinics in every city, as that is what can improve the dical environnt in Australia,” Arthur said.
Although hospital care can benefit more people, it also requires more dical talents to be involved.
Moreover, for Australians, sotis it is not that they cannot go to a hospital for dical treatnt, but that they cannot afford it.
As long as the problem of poverty is not solved, even if there are hospitals everywhere in Australia, the issue of healthcare cannot be resolved.
In comparison, clinics are much smaller. Generally speaking, one doctor is enough.
And the cost of clinics is lower than that of hospitals. Although they may not be able to solve bigger, more complex diseases, Australians generally do not have the money to see a doctor, right?
“Yes, Your Highness,” Bradford Dillman anticipated and nodded in response.
In order to thoroughly improve the dical environnt, in addition to attracting a large number of dical talents from Europe, Australia must also train so dical talents every year.
Based on the current developnt of the Australian National University, it will take at least several years or even a decade of investnt to alleviate the shortage of dical talents.
Therefore, building small clinics is a relatively effective thod. At least under the premise of talent shortage, it is a more reliable choice than building hospitals.
“Continue to report,” Arthur instructed.
“Your Highness, besides the above, our public security environnt, cultivated land, road construction, and industrial developnt have also improved significantly. Here are their summary reports for your review,” said Pri Minister Evan as he handed over several docunts respectfully.
When a country achieves unity from a divided state, its economy and various constructions will also usher in rapid developnt.
Like Australia, after completing its unification, the forrly isolated states have started full economic and cultural exchanges, which in turn has driven Australia’s economic and other developnts.
Arthur nodded.
He knew the situation of the Public Security Departnt. After the rectification of the police industry, the establishnt of new police stations, and the training of excellent reserve policen, it is natural for the public security environnt to improve.
In addition to these, national unification and governnt improvent are also important factors in improving public security conditions.
Chaos breeds darkness. Once a country is unified, and power is centralized to the governnt, new policies are enacted, and darkness can only wither in the corners.
“At present, how much of the planting area we have? Can each immigrant be allocated a certain amount of land?” Arthur inquired.
For an immigrant country like Australia, the most effective way to attract immigrants is to allocate land and property.
The reason for the outbreak of the immigration wave in Europe, besides being caught in the whirlpool of war, is the increasing population leading to a scarcity of land, which is also an important factor.
For a country like Australia with vast land and a small population, what is lacking the least is land resources.
If land can be allocated to attract more immigrants, it is undoubtedly a beneficial thod.
“Your Highness, at present, our new immigrants can be allocated an average of about ten acres of land, but most of it is wasteland, which requires the immigrants themselves to develop,” said Agriculture Minister Henry.
A small population also leads to a drawback. That is, even if there is a large area of land to allocate to immigrants, it will also be due to a lack of population, resulting in many allocated lands being undeveloped wastelands that require immigrants to cultivate themselves.
“We can appropriately increase the allocation of land and provide so assistance to these new immigrants. The cultivated land area needs to be expanded further to feed more people,” Arthur nodded and said.
The usable cultivated land area of Australia is small compared to its total land area, but because Australia has more than 7 million square kiloters of land, the actual usable cultivated land area is still large and has great potential for developnt.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Henry also nodded and replied.
“How is our road construction progressing? What plans do we have for highways and railways?” Arthur looked at the Minister of Transportation Connelly and asked.
As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. The developnt of transportation largely determines the speed of economic and industrial developnt.
With the talents of Benson and Disel, the developnt of automobiles will undergo rapid changes.
Under such circumstances, the construction of highways in Australia must also be put on the agenda. After all, we cannot let those unreliable cars run on dirt roads. Frequent problems may bring tears to the car owners’ eyes..
