My question is to the Prime Minister. It refers to the report of the House of Representative Standing Committee on Health and Ageing tabled today, entitled The blame game: report on the inquiry into health funding, which finds that the community is getting sick of blame shifting between governments about the inadequacies of Australia’s health system. What action will the Prime Minister take to stop the blame game in health between the Commonwealth and the states? Why has the Prime Minister rejected major reform of the health system, despite the fact that the health minister has described the current funding arrangements between the Commonwealth and the states as ‘a dog’s breakfast’?
