Those ads absolutely accurately describe the situation that for the last two years Premier Baillieu's blatant disregard for the welfare of Victorian patients has seen reductions in health care. This funding injection will go directly to front line hospital administrators so that they can immediately restore services shut down by the Baillieu government in recent years.
