Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware of comments by Western Australia’s AMA President, Gary Geelhoed, that at least ‘120 people were dying in WA each year because of overcrowding in public hospitals’? Has the Commonwealth government done anything to discourage the Carpenter government from requesting additional funds to tackle this gross neglect?
