My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator Ludwig. Given that Perth’s hospital emergency departments already are Australia’s most overcrowded and have dangerously long waiting times, which will only get longer as a result of your proposed changes to the Medicare levy surcharge, can the minister advise if the Carpenter Labor government has made any formal requests for additional funding to the Rudd Labor government since the federal budget?
