My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, are you aware of an AMA press release saying the following:

The rationalisation of hospital services in the north west coast is the only way that Tasmanians in that area will be likely in the future to see modern, properly resourced hospital services in their area to match those in the rest of the state. 

Unfortunately, maintaining a number of small hospitals is not only expensive but it precludes residents of the region from getting access to modern medical technologies and attracting a broader range of specialist services in particular.

Prime Minister, was Brendan Nelson right?
