asked the Minister for Health and Ageing, in writing, on 15 September 2011:

(1) Can she confirm media reports that the Townsville Health Service District, which services a smaller population than the Cairns Health District, receives 30 per cent more health funding.

(2) Is she aware that the population of the greater Cairns region is about 250 000, while that of the greater Townsville region is about 225 000.

(3) Can she explain to the people of far north Queensland, the reason for this apparent health funding discrepancy.
