Chapter 72: If you want to get rich, you must first build roads

"What about the medical sector? How many hospitals were built in the last year? Arthur then asked.

Medical care, like education, is a major matter related to people's livelihood and people's feelings. Again, this is one of the important conditions for immigrants to choose a destination.

After all, no one wants to live in a place where education and medical care are very backward, and even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families and future generations.

"Your Highness, so far, we have built a hospital in each of the six states. However, due to the lack of medical equipment and doctors, most hospitals can only accept ordinary patients and cannot deal with slightly more difficult diseases. Medical Secretary Braiford Dill Man said with a wry smile.

The health sector is one of the least talked about sectors in Australia at the moment, and Arthur has not made additional investment, which has led to a worse situation for the health sector, with not enough doctors working to keep the hospital up and running.

"Adding the medical profession to our technical school as well. The healthcare industry is also an important part of Australia's development, and we must ensure that there are enough doctors in Australia's major hospitals to meet the needs of Australians. On top of that, the pace of attracting talent from Europe cannot stop. The medical sector can apply for funding to join forces with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attract some medical talents from major European countries, especially the United Kingdom and Germany. Arthur thought for a moment before speaking.

Medical care is one of the issues that must be addressed as soon as possible. It's not just about the survival rate of newborn children in Australia, it's about the livelihoods of all Australians.

"Yes, Your Highness." Braford Dillman looked a little there, and hurriedly responded.

"The plan to build hospitals can be halted for the time being, and having one hospital per state is enough for us for the time being. I hope that the next step of the medical department will be devoted to the construction of small clinics. I would like to see some small clinics in every city, and that's what makes the healthcare environment in Australia better. Arthur said.

While hospital care can benefit more people, it also requires more medical talent.

And for Australians, sometimes it's not that there is no hospital to see a doctor, but that there is no money to go to a doctor.

Without addressing the congenital problem of poverty, even if Australia is full of hospitals, it is impossible to solve the health problem.

The size of the clinic is very small relative to the hospital, and in general, one doctor is enough.

And the cost of the clinic is smaller than that of the hospital, although it can't solve the larger incurable diseases, but Australians generally don't have the money to see it, right?

"Yes, Your Highness." Braford Diarman nodded predictably and responded.

In order to radically improve the medical environment, in addition to attracting a large number of medical talents from Europe, Australia must also be able to train some medical talents every year.

Judging from the current development of Australia's national universities, it will take at least a few years or even ten years of investment to hopefully alleviate the problem of medical talent shortage.

Therefore, the construction of small clinics is a more effective method. At least under the premise of talent vacancy, it is a more reliable choice than building a hospital.

"Let's keep reporting!" Arthur gestured.

"Your Highness, in addition to the above, our law and order environment, agricultural land, road construction and industrial development have also improved a lot. Here's their summary report, so please take a look at it. Prime Minister Evan handed over some information and said respectfully.

When a country completes its reunification from a state of division, its economy and various constructions will also usher in vigorous development.

This is the case with Australia, after the completion of unification, the originally isolated states have also begun to have full economic and cultural exchanges, which in turn has led to Australia's economic and other development.

Arthur nodded.

He is well aware of the situation in the Ministry of Public Security, and it is only natural that the public security environment will improve with the rectification of the original police industry, the establishment of new police stations, and the training of excellent reserve police.

In addition to these, the unity of the country and the improvement of the government are also important factors in the improvement of public security conditions.

Chaos breeds darkness, and once the country is united, power is reconcentrated in government, and new policies are enacted, darkness can only shrink into corners.

"How much area do we have at the moment? Can every immigrant be allocated a certain amount of land? Arthur asked.

In a country like Australia, the most effective way to attract immigrants is to allocate land and property.

In addition to being caught in the whirlpool of war, the scarcity of land due to the growing population in Europe is also an important factor.

For a country like Australia, which is very extensive and has very few people, the most important thing is land resources.

If you can attract more immigrants by allocating land, it will definitely do more harm than good.

"Your Highness, at present, our new immigrants are able to distribute about ten acres of land equally, but most of them are wasteland, and the immigrants need to reclaim it themselves." Agriculture Minister Henrith said.

The small population also leads to a disadvantage, that is, even if there is a large amount of land that can be allocated to immigrants, due to the lack of population, many of the allocated land is uncultivated wasteland that needs to be cultivated by the immigrants themselves.

"We can improve the appropriateness of the distribution of land and at the same time give some assistance to these new arrivals. The area of agricultural land needs to continue to expand in order to feed more people. Arthur nodded.

Australia's usable arable land area is a small proportion of the total land area, but because Australia has more than 7 million square kilometers of land, the actual usable arable land area is still very large, and there is still a lot of potential for development.

"Yes, Your Highness." Henris nodded in the same way and replied.

"How's our road construction going? What are the plans for roads and railways? Arthur looked at Conlait, the Minister of Transport, and asked.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The development of transportation also largely determines the speed of economic and industrial development.

With the talents of Benz and Diesel, the development of automobiles is bound to change very rapidly.

Under this premise, Australia's road construction must also be on the agenda. Don't let those unreliable cars run on dirt roads, frequent problems may make those car owners cry.
