Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Health and Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

On indulgence, I would like to join with the minister for health in congratulating the government on the work in relation to breast care nurses. This is one of those issues in the area of health where there is bipartisan support. The minister will recall that, under former Minister for Health and Ageing, Mr Abbot, a number of nurses were funded, particularly those employed by the McGrath Foundation. We commend that work. It is work that will continue with bipartisan support. I am sorry that this was politicised by the health minister, but we support the extra funding of the breast care nursing.
