My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. The ink is barely dry on Mr Rudd’s COAG agreement and the government has dropped a major plank of the grand health plan that was to provide transparency and accountability. Mr Rudd has dumped the national funding authority in an answer to a question on notice slipped out by his department late yesterday. When will the government admit that the states are still in control, that it is actually business as usual on hospitals and that the blame game continues?
