My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his statement of 23 August 2007, where he said:

When it comes to improving Australia’s health and hospital system, as Prime Minister if elected, the buck will stop with me.

If that is the case, why have surgeons and visiting specialists in the Greater Western Area Health Service in New South Wales not been paid since May and why have the Dubbo medical staff passed a vote of no confidence in hospital management?
