Ms LEY (Farrer—Minister for Health, Minister for Sport and Minister for Aged Care) (14:59): It is a pleasure to take a question from the member for Macarthur, continuing the excellent work of his predecessor, Pat Farmer, in fabulous Western Sydney. I am delighted to report to the House that spending in the Health portfolio has increased in this budget by 4.1 per cent. It is now $89.5 billion. Some of the highlights of this budget are our fast-tracking of access to medicines and medical devices, making Australia a much more attractive place to invest in and innovate— Ms Plibersek interjecting— Ms LEY: The member for Sydney has, helpfully, reminded me of our first ever Commonwealth public dental scheme— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sydney will not interject! Ms LEY: the largest ever Commonwealth investment in a dental scheme that Labor really should have introduced— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: I have asked the member for Sydney not to interject! Ms LEY: We have an important women's health initiative. We are building infrastructure to train new doctors in the bush, because access to GPs is vital for rural and regional Australians. We are creating a national registry for breast and cardiac devices. They are just some of the highlights. But, against that background, I remind the House of our ongoing solid policy development in health, all of it designed with patients at the centre. I have a saying that the further away the dollar falls from the patient the less effective it is, and that is what our policy does, whether it be our $2.9 billion funding for hospitals—received with great pleasure by every single state health minister—building in reform around safety, quality and reduced avoidable hospital admissions; the landmark Medical Research Future Fund; our mental health reforms that really stop people falling through the cracks; access to medicines and new breakthrough drugs; or access to medicinal cannabis and the important reforms to come for the supply and cultivation of something that will help patients in distress. Against that background, we are in the dying days of the 44th Parliament, and we do not have a single health policy from Labor—not a single health policy. We have not heard one. We started last year with a big year of new ideas— Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs has been warned. Ms LEY: we had not one single idea in health. And I am still waiting. The Leader of the Opposition said today, 'We've got a plan to properly fund our hospital system,' but the only plan that we have ever heard of was reported in TheCourier-Mail recently, when we were told that Bill Shorten's team had been meeting with state Labor treasurers to determine what health funding they could live with. In other words, Labor were going around working out the sort of deal that could get them off the hook for their $57 billion unfunded spending promise that they have rolled out time after time. Absolutely not one single policy— (Time expired) Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sydney will cease interjecting!
