Tanya Plibersek (Sydney, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Health) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Robertson for her question. Since 2007, Labor has delivered stronger health services and our plans for the future are very clear: more doctors, more nurses, more allied health professionals, more beds, less waiting, building and rebuilding of our hospitals and GP services, expanded primary care, cheaper medicines, dental care, cancer prevention and services.

When I heard that Real Solutions was coming out, I thought that I had better set some time aside to read the health section but, as it happens, I did not need very much time at all. There is not much planning there—a one-page list of slogans. You only need to look at the states to be able to read the tea leaves.
