I actually don't have any data on individual spends, but I do have information, which I was just going through, about the amount of funding that the government continues to put into Australia's world-leading health system to support Australians to access their care at a reasonable cost. If you look at, for example, Australian government funding to public hospitals, that's grown from $13.3 billion in 2012-13 to $25.5 billion in 2021, or by 90 per cent over that period of time.
