    1. Did the Treasurer meet with Commonwealth counterparts to discuss New South Wales health funding requirements?

Answer -

Following recent discussions at the Council of Australian Governments, the Commonwealth has agreed to provide a $2.9 billion increase in national funding, with around a third of that flowing to New South Wales. We will continue to negotiate moving forward.

The 2016-17 Budget provides a record $22 billion for health.
