Queensland Attorney-General Cameron Dick has lodged an appeal against former Bundaberg surgeon Jayant Patel's sentence, saying it's inadequate.
Patel, 60, was sentenced on July 1 to seven years' jail for the manslaughter of three patients and causing grievous bodily harm to a fourth.
Mr Dick lodged an appeal in the Court of Appeal in Brisbane on Monday afternoon.
"The grounds of this appeal are that these sentences are inadequate in all the circumstances and fail to reflect the gravity of the offences," he said in a statement.
It follows an appeal lodged by Patel's lawyers last week on the grounds the verdicts were unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.
