CITATION: Dr Con Aroney

Dr Con Aroney made disclosures about persons dying while on waiting lists for life saving surgery.

He also exposed the practices of bureaucrats using rational economic theory to make decisions, countermanding doctors, on the specific medical treatment that patients were to receive.

For these disclosures, the Qld Health system that protected Dr Patel effectively excluded Dr Aroney from service in his specialty.

The continuing treatment of Dr Aroney, as with the treatment of nurse Wendy Erglis (Whistleblower of the Year in 2003) is the indicator for all as to whether Qld Health, now exposed, is genuinely repentant for the grievous harm that it has brought to the people of Queensland.
