My question is to the Minister for Health. The minister said on 19 February that spending on medical services is spiralling, but the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has found that health expenditure in 2012-13 grew at its lowest rate in 30 years. So, will the minister now abandon his unfair increase in the costs of medicines that will hit all Australians?
