HANSON (15:14):</by>  One further supplementary, and I would appreciate him actually answering the question: why is he doubling the number of spin doctors across our two biggest health networks when, at the same time, he is axing real doctors and real nurses from our hospitals?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:14):</by>  I would love to tell the public health clinicians back at Citi Centre, 'You're not real clinicians.' They're getting important public health information out to the public about how to stay healthy during winter, how to avoid the spread of disease, but somehow they're just spin clinicians. Well, I'm sorry—vaccination, disease prevention, health promotion: these are all vital parts of both protecting lives and saving lives. I am not going to have public health campaigns trashed by a Labor Party that is completely focused on smearing both the people and the services that provide excellent health services to our state.</text>
