The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (14:31): I direct my question to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Why does the government's contract with consultants PwC on rebalancing the health system state one of the objectives as: 'Care will be provided at a lower cost to previous facility-based beds and may increasingly be provided by the non-government sector'?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:31): The reason why this government believes that we shouldn't waste money is that, if you save the money that you don't waste, you can buy more services.

The PRESIDENT: A supplementary, the Hon. Mr Hunter.
