Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and International Security) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister and refers to the report of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health and Ageing I referred to yesterday, entitled The blame game: report on the inquiry into health funding. Is the Prime Minister aware that the report found that waste and duplication and a failure to invest in prevention costs the health system at least $1.5 billion, and up to $4 billion, every year? Prime Minister, after more than 10 years, why is the Prime Minister and why is the government still refusing to take responsibility for fundamental reform of this country’s health system?
