Regional health services

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: In regard to the member for Euroa’s question, I am mindful of Speaker Maddigan’s ruling:

Asking a minister to continue to do something does not constitute asking them to take action.

Would the member like to rephrase the action being asked for?

Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (19:23): My adjournment today is for the Minister for Health, and the action I seek is that regional health services and staff are appropriately funded and not cut in the upcoming state budget to compensate for the $1.5 billion deficit in Victoria’s public hospitals.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will refer it to the Speaker. I thank the member for the clarification.
