Save East Devonport Medical Centre

The petition of the undersigned Citizens of Tasmania draws to the attention of the House:

1. That the State Government has a responsibility to ensure Tasmanians have access to healthcare.
2. The closure of East Devonport Medical Centre in February 2024 will make it so much harder for people to access healthcare.
3. Thousands of Tasmanians from Devonport will be forced to find another GP.
4. The closure will result in more pressure on our already overloaded healthcare services.
5. All levels of Government must work together to ensure the community has access to GP services.

Your petitioners request the House to call upon the State Government to immediately make sure local GPs are available to treat patients in East Devonport and the surrounding communities.
