In a very special edition of 60 MINUTES, Liz Hayes reports on what is the most important, and personal, story of her career. However, it’s also a story that in modern Australia she shouldn’t need to tell. It’s about decent people in the country who are dying because of a rural health system that's broken and failing them. They are people like Liz’s precious dad. For many years Bryan Ryan was a farmer who lived near Taree, north of Newcastle in NSW. He was 88 years old when he died a year ago, but it’s highly likely he’d still be alive today if not for a catastrophic medical error that occurred while he was being treated in the rural health system. As Liz reveals, what happened to her dad, Bryan Ryan, is inexcusable but it's just one of many cases that are as heart-breaking as they are tragic.
