Government building Australia's future with more money for public hospital reform
The Federal Government is delivering an additional $1.7billion to fund public hospitals and health services next year. 'Our public health system is too precious to entrust to Peter Dutton and the Liberals, who ripped $50 billion out of public hospital funding when he was Health Minister.' said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. 'For too long we've seen governments stuck in trench warfare playing the blame game on hospital funding. This infuriates Australians when all they want is to make sure they don't spend hours ramped in an ambulance or waiting in an overcrowded emergency department.' added Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler.
