I should also correct the record in one small respect. I was quoting public hospital funding in New South Wales from memory. I said it was nine per cent, nine per cent and nine per cent and eight per cent going up—that is what I said. In fact, it is better than that. I have now got the figures in front of me.

Commonwealth funding to public hospitals in New South Wales goes up eight per cent, 10 per cent, 10 per cent and eight per cent. It is even better than what I told the House earlier this afternoon.
