Women lined the entrance at the inaugural Rural Women's Symposium held in Roma today to protest against possible funding cut backs to the State Governments Queensland Flying Specialists Service.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh stopped to address the angry crowd, where she was guest of honour at the function, but protester continued to chant the phase "save our babies".
Ms Bligh reassured the crowd that the report had been rejected and would be revised.
She also told the crowd that no woman in the bush would be disadvantaged by the current review of the Queensland Flying Specialists Service.
Protest coordinator, Anne Hatcher, said that as far as the Government was concerned they want to reduce the services in the west.
"The Queensland Flying Specialists Service was started in the 1980s and has already been greatly reduced, so when we are told that no women of the west will be disadvantaged, we don't believe it," Ms Hatcher said.
Also helping to organise the protest was Marguerite Lumsden, who said that no reassurance was gained after Ms Bligh comments that no women in the bush will be worst-off.
"History has shown that the Government will continue to reduce services," Ms Lumsden said.
"While they try to rationalise a dollar value for rural women’s health services, I would ask 'what dollar value would anyone place on a women's life?'"
Roma Regional Mayor Robert Loughnan has requested an urgent meeting with the State Government’s Health Minister, Stephen Robertson, to discuss the future of the Roma based flying specialist service.
