My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. A year ago, I asked about the $6.55 billion gap in health spending between metropolitan and regional Australians. The response was that the gap was being addressed. Now the National Rural Health Alliance reports that the gap has increased to $8.35 billion—over $1,090 less in annual spending on the health of each regional Australian. Minister, it's getting worse a year later. What urgent steps will you take to fix this inequality?
