My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. I'm advised by constituents that, by July 2025, sight-saving eye injections for macular degeneration will no longer be delivered routinely in private hospitals, meaning those currently covered by private health insurance will need to pay in full or go without treatment. Is this correct and, if so, why has the government made this decision?

I thank the member for Mayo for her question. I'm not aware of that. I'm happy to take that on notice and come back to the member as soon as possible.
