I'd like to acknowledge the Tangentyere women from Central Australia in the public gallery. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. Can the minister confirm the Turnbull government's $715 million cut to public hospitals from 2017-20 is equivalent to 2,010 nurses a year, 198,000 cataract extractions, 27,000 knee replacements or 118,000 births?
