Neil Mitchell has delivered his personal plea to new health minister Harriet Shing, following the Allan government’s cabinet reshuffle.

The former 3AW Mornings host has voiced his concerns on the hospital system, and had some stories to tell on the dire state it’s in.

“It’s gone away as a political issue, and I don’t think it should,” Mitchell said on 3AW Afternoons.

“The hospital system is not a total disaster, but it has been a problem for 30 years and it’s a bigger problem than it used to be, it’s getting worse.

“Various governments over various years have not done enough in the health system and they are protecting themselves.”
