The president of the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland Dr Ewen McPhee said the Association had zero input into the KPMG report recommending splitting Queensland Health into two entities - Health and Hospitals Queensland and Health Corporate Services Authority.

The recommendations failed to address the critical issues for Queensland, Dr McPhee said.

"We need more doctors and nurses in rural and regional areas.

"We need a better deal for rural families.

"There is nothing is this reform that addresses these core concerns."

Closer to home, the principal of Flinders Medical Centre at Cloncurry, Dr Bryan Connor was scathing about the timing of the report.

"After the Beattie/Bligh government in power for the last 20 years, it seems strange that it took a 'criminal mastermind' to get them to announce a major change to Queensland Health on the eve of an election," Dr Connor said.

"The Bligh government has told us that if re-elected they will sort out Queensland Health in the first 100 days.

"Why haven't they done this over the last 20 years?" he asked.

Dr Connor said there were many highly competent, hardworking and diligent people within Queensland Health who were feeling "quite insecure" about their future in the light of the proposed changes.

"As a rural GP, I would be all for changes to Queensland Health which would result in better health care delivery to Queenslanders, but it's difficult to comment on whether these proposed changes will actually achieve that."

He said the proposed changes to Queensland Health could be compared to "finding a traffic jam on the Harbour Bridge and deciding to blow up the bridge and replace it with two smaller bridges to ease congestion".
