Tony Abbott has conceded the government is cutting a hospitals funding agreement with immediate effect, contrary to his weekend claim that the cuts did not take effect for years. On Sunday Abbott said: “We’re not talking about next week or next month or even next year; we are talking about changes in three years time”. But Abbott now agrees the national partnership agreement on public hospitals, which begins on 1 July, has been cut. Budget documents say it has been cut by $1.8bn over the next four years. The prime minister says the reductions should be blamed on Labor because the former government had previously revised the agreement. theguardian/world/2014/may/19/hospital-cuts-begin-july-tony-abbott-admits?CMP=twt_gu
