Tasmania's Liberal election candidates are talking up their commitment to health, as the state's health system shapes as a key issue in the upcoming federal poll.The Liberals say they will spend more money on health instead of matching a Labor pledge to fund a Tasmanian AFL team
Tasmania's health system is under scrutiny after a 71-year-old man died in the Royal Hobart Hospital's emergency department Liberal senator Richard Colbeck said in order to spend more money on improving Tasmania's health system, a Liberal Government would not match"For the Liberal party the priority is not to put $25 million into an AFL team, it's to prioritise things that mean a lot to our community, such as health," Senator Colbeck said.
Seeking to convince voters the Liberals would be better stewards of the state's hospitals and healthcare than Labor, Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week promised a $92 million dollar Tasmanian Health Plan, which would boost funding for elective surgery, mental health care, maternity services and breast cancer diagnosis.
