I have indicated to the chamber, insofar as I will seek further information to provide as necessary. What I will also indicate to the chamber is that it was the previous Labor government that cut $1.6 billion from our hospitals. The senator asks questions in relation to health. I think it is very, very important that those out there in the community recognise the very real difference between what the coalition government will do when it comes to health and what the now opposition did as the previous government.

It is this coalition government which will deliver health services. It will deliver health services to the front line as needed, as compared to what we saw under the previous, chaotic Labor government.
