Bridget Archer, Minister for Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing
After a bizarre day of Labor MPs trying to cook the books, they have finally acknowledged health funding is increasing.
The 2026-27 Budget shows increased expenditure of $264.8 million in health.
A record investment of $15 billion in health over the next four years, which is 35 per cent of the Budget.
It is in the Budget in black and white.
We welcome Shane Broad's acknowledgement of the increase in health funding.
