Health Services

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:37): Supplementary: given that there is now almost $1 billion more in GST revenue than was most recently expected, will the government stop its cuts to our hospitals and ambulances and move to stop ramping and delays for South Australians awaiting care in our hospitals?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:37): We are not cutting health or hospitals. We are actually significantly increasing spending on health and hospitals. It doesn't matter how many times the Labor Party makes the claim that the government is cutting health or hospital spending—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I remind members that conversations across the chamber are out of order.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: —or ambulance spending. The mere claim—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Ridgway is out of order, as is the leader.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: —doesn't prove the facts.

An honourable member interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Yes, I could do.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: This government is not. It is actually increasing spending on health and hospitals and on ambulance services.
