My question is to the Prime Minister. In 2012 the federal government met my request for $325 million to boost the Tasmanian health system, but that money runs out in June, meaning the loss of desperately needed services. Funding for the essential psychiatric emergency nurses is also about to run out. Prime Minister, will you commit to a new funding package for Tasmania, including for the PENs, and when will you announce the detail?

Mr Hutchinson interjecting
