My question is to the Prime Minister. Sydney's health system is under real pressure. At Westmead Hospital in Sydney, two-thirds of intensive care beds are occupied by COVID-positive patients, and patients are being sent to other hospitals to free up space. There's ramping of ambulances with patients, which have been waiting to get into Westmead and Nepean hospitals. Now, what extra resources, will the federal government allocate to New South Wales to ensure that its health system is not overwhelmed?
