Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Thank you, Minister, for acknowledging my longstanding interest. I am sure that you have read the many reports of committees that I have served on, such as those on mental health, Medicare, aged care and—I have a particular interest at the moment—obesity. Minister, of the $64.4 billion funding in health, how will the $1.1 billion investment to train more doctors, nurses and other health professionals be reflected in increased services for patients Australia wide?
