My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the AMA’s Public Hospital Report Card 2009, which found that the Prime Minister’s public hospital system is getting worse under his watch. I refer the Prime Minister also to his pre-election pledge that, ‘The buck stops with me on health.’ Will the Prime Minister confirm that waiting times for elective surgery are blowing out and patients are waiting longer for emergency department care and hospital beds? Prime Minister, isn’t this just another Labor broken promise?
