My question is to the Assistant Minister for Health, Senator Nash. I refer to the government's decision to stop funding through the health flexible funds a preventive health agency called the CO-OPS obesity prevention network, which is working to combat chronic disease. Given that nearly $800 million is being cut from the flexible funds over the next four years, is CO-OPS just the first in a long list of casualties that will result from the cuts to these funds?
