My question concerning the 2010-11 budget is about the Rudd government’s $7.3 billion investment in our health and hospital system. After 12 years of neglect and underinvestment by the Liberal and National parties federally, can the Minister for Health and Ageing outline to the House what health reform means for communities across Australia? I know that in my electorate people are really thrilled about these health and hospital reforms. In particular, can the minister outline what specific funding has been allocated to our hospital system? I know that my electorate is very keen to hear about that.
