The shadow minister is quite wrong. Cancer treatments and the other treatments are not covered by the dental program. I am going to take the shadow minister through the government’s reasoning for closing down the dental scheme. Let us get a couple of things straight. The shadow minister alleges that this program has helped 16,000 people in two months—wrong. This program has helped 15,000 people in four whole years.
