Member for Fong Lim, David Tollner, has been appointed the Northern Territory’s Minister for Health, Minister for Alcohol Policy and Minister for Essential Services.

 

 “I look forward to establishing cardiac services in the Northern Territory. Currently the majority of patients requiring interventional cardiac treatment must travel interstate. For too long now the Health Ministry has lacked long-term strategic health planning,” Mr Tollner said.

 

Mr Tollner said the Chief Minister Terry Mills had already abolished the Banned Drinkers Register and he was looking forward to implementing strong alcohol policy to target those individuals who misuse alcohol.
