[talk-au] Are Health Centres, hospitals

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Over the last few days, I've spotted a few places marked as hospitals that
aren't.

Locally, there were two Aged Care homes, then as I looked around further, I
spotted another Aged Care home, an Ambulance station in a small country
town & an SES station!

The Ambo station I could almost relate to, as that's where you go for any
medical emergency, but none of the others. Incidentally, there is hopefully
some progress on them being rendered?

I did an Overpass search for Qld & found ~2100 "hospitals", which seems
like a lot?  https://overpass-turbo.eu/# (Don't know if that works or
not?), & checking at random, found more Ambo's, Doctor's surgeries & so on
also marked.

I did notice, though, a few of these:
https://www.health.qld.gov.au/services/northwest/nwest_burket_hc

Personally, I would call that a Medical Centre, not a Hospital?, while this
https://www.health.qld.gov.au/cq/hospitals/blackwater/services with A&E &
inpatients *is* a Hospital.

What do you all think?

Thanks

Graeme
