My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this electricity bill from The Bays Hospital in Mornington. A statement from its CEO says that The Bays Hospital is a small not-for-profit community hospital and that the carbon adjustment costs will be $44,000, without compensation and with no ability to pass on the costs to patients. How does the Prime Minister expect the Bays Hospital to find the extra money? Or does the Prime Minister expect that it will cut services?
