The Labor Opposition Leader hasn’t even delivered his Budget Reply Speech and he’s already trying to change the facts.

Mr Winter is this morning claiming the Government has cut funding to the health technology sector.

He is wrong.

It’s this Government who is implementing a whopping 10-year $476 million Digital Health Transformation Strategy, ensuring Tasmania’s health system is transformed into a world-class, innovative and integrated system.  

The 2025-26 Budget invests an additional $30 million towards this initiative.

The least Mr Winter could do today is tell the truth.
