Mr President, I seek leave to table an answer by Treasury to a question on notice confirming the $57 billion cut.

Leave granted.

Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Isn't the Medical Association right to say that the Abbott government's cuts to health funding mean 'public hospitals will never meet the targets set by governments and patients will have to wait longer for treatment'. Isn't the AMA right?
