I thank the member for Flynn for his question and note that I was recently with him in Gladstone as part of our consultations on the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission report, when we had a very successful meeting with the health professionals from the Gladstone region as part of the national program of consultations which we have been undertaking. Today we will have had our 61st consultation, of which at least 20 have been in regional and rural areas, areas as diverse as Gladstone, Shepparton, Wagga, Whyalla, Bunbury, Derby, Alice Springs—and the list goes on.
