‘This government is failing’: Calls for ‘complete overhaul’ of health portfolio
There are growing concerns the health portfolio is simply too big and broad for just one minister to oversee, says Shadow Health Minister Anne Ruston.
“Health is a massive, massive portfolio area,” Ms Ruston told Sky News Australia.
“To just have one cabinet minister looking after health does put an extraordinary amount of responsibility on that one person.
“We need to have a complete overhaul about the way we look at health and start really focusing on those things like preventative health.
“Right now, I think this government is failing in its responsibility for primary care, whether that be primary care for mental health or primary care for physical health.”
