— EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS — PRESENTATIONS
262. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I
have a supplementary question. We all agree that the system is under pressure.
Regardless of the minister's political spin and comparisons with
last year, will he immediately table the emergency department presentation
figures for each month over the last four years to put an end to his claims?

I can do better than that; I can
point the member to the website where all that information is. Once again, we
see this lazy opposition coming to this place simply trying to undermine
confidence in our health system, denying the fact that our health system is
under significant pressure, denying the great work that the doctors, nurses and
allied health staff are doing and denying the incredible work that they have
done over COVID-19 when the opposition and its mate Clive Palmer were trying to
tear down the system. We will continue to resource our health system the way it
is necessary. The one thing we will not be distracted by is a lazy, inefficient
opposition that refuses to accept the work that is going on in our hospitals at
the moment, which is about bringing resources to bear to improve health
services.
