My question is to the Prime Minister. According to the AMA's Public Hospital Report Card, since this conservative government came to office the average wait time for elective surgery in Tasmania has increased by 60 per cent to 72 days. Why should patients in Tasmania needing hip replacements have to wait even longer for surgery because of this Prime Minister's cuts to hospitals?
