The federal government is providing record funding to Tasmanian hospitals, and, indeed, the new five-year agreement from 2020-21 will see Tasmanian hospitals receive an extra $373.6 million, the five-year total going up to $2.4 billion. Of course, that is in addition to the $730 million that was paid to Tasmania—the largest single payment to Tasmania ever from the Commonwealth—in respect of the transfer back to Tasmania of the Mersey Community Hospital.
