H/07/00924 Mr Neil Laurie the Clerk of The MI143748 MO: H/07/00924 Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament House George Street BRISBANE QLD 4000 Dear Mr Laurie Thank you for your letter dated 8 February 2007, regarding Petition No. 776-07 regarding the suspension of Dr Patrick Lip of Wondai. The decision to suspend Dr Lip’s registration to practice medicine in Queensland was made by the Medical Registration Board of Queensland. As this Board is independent of Government and Queensland Health, your letter of concern has been referred to the Medical Registration Board for their information and any necessary action. Queensland Health continues to provide public medical and nursing services to the residents of the South Burnett District from the Wondai Community Health Centre, and the Murgon and Kingaroy Hospitals. Strategies to ensure the continuation of medical services to the community of Wondai and its surrounds were implemented in early 2006 with the temporary closure of Wondai Hospital for refurbishment. These strategies included the establishment of a Nurse Clinic at Wondai Community Health Centre where registered nurses monitor blood pressures, blood sugar levels and renew dressings for patients. The district has extended the hours of this Clinic since September 2006 and the hours of the Medical Superintendent Right of Private Practice at Murgon Hospital has also been extended since September 2006. Should you have any queries regarding my advice to you, Ms Linda South, Transition Operations Manager, West Moreton South Burnett Health Service District, will be pleased to assist you and can be contacted on telephone 4162 9201. Yours sincerely STEPHEN ROBERTSON MP .

However, a decade-long drought led to the mass installation of rainwater tanks throughout the region, re-introducing critical breeding sites for the mosquito’s persistence in this subtropical region. With Ae. aegypti re-invading towns just 150 km north of Brisbane, we examined the potential for their sustained elimination. Through genomic analyses, we estimated historical expansion and current isolation between neighboring populations as close as 15 kilometers.
