HEALTH professionals gathered outside NSW Parliament yesterday, to deliver an open letter signed by the Australian Medical Association NSW Branch, two medical colleges, the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association and 19 other health organisations calling for gas in homes and public buildings to be replaced with renewable electricity to protect health.
Collectively these organisations represent over 100,000 Australian health professionals.
Led by Healthy Futures and Doctors for the Environment Australia, the open letter warned that gas poses serious risks to human health, including worsening asthma, carbon monoxide poisoning and affects climate change.
