Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:36): I thank Senator Askew for the question on the important issue of health. It's nice to get a question on such a significant matter. In relation to announcements made by the Labor opposition in Tasmania, I'm not specifically aware of the announcement you mentioned, but we've made no secret of wanting to work with state and territory governments on delivery of hospital services improvements, and obviously there are discussions all the time with states and territories about hospital infrastructure. It was a key decision point and discussion point at National Cabinet late last year about the hospital reform agreement that's up for negotiation and the pressure that's on state and territory governments around that, so I don't think it's any secret that health systems around the country are under pressure. State and territory governments are finding it difficult to manage some of those pressures and are wanting assistance from the Commonwealth, which we're happy to engage in with the national health— Senator Duniam: A point of order on direct relevance: the minister was asked about whether a request was received. We've talked generally about health, but I haven't heard her say yet whether a request has been received from the Labor leader or not. The PRESIDENT: She did answer that specific point in the first sentence. She is being relevant. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: The Albanese government looks forward to working with the government of Tasmania, pending the outcome of the election that's underway, when that occurs. We will work together on health. We will work together on health infrastructure. We will work together on Medicare urgent care clinics. We will work together on workforce, which has been an issue in Tasmania—access to specialists, particularly access to primary care, to GPs, to new models of care. These are all things that the minister for health will work on with whoever is the health minister. If there are particular policies that have been made by either side through the election campaign, the Commonwealth remains open and prepared to engage on all of those matters should they improve health service delivery in Tasmania. The PRESIDENT: First supplementary, Senator Askew?
