Justine Elliot (Richmond, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for his question. I outlined to the House yesterday some of the investment we have made when it comes to aged care in Western Australia. I will run through that again shortly, but can I again confirm that the situation we inherited was over a decade of neglect from the previous government, particularly when it comes to health, hospitals and aged care as well. Since coming into government, as I pointed out yesterday, we have seen record funding. Indeed, over the next four years, our funding for aged and community care will reach $44 billion.
