Maternal and child health services

Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:51): Bouquets to Northeast Health Wangaratta, whose staff do an amazing job in looking after our broader community and dealing with a wide range of trauma on a daily basis, but brickbats to the Victorian Minister for Health, who has tightened the budget of the health system so many new mums with newborn bubs are tossed out only 6 hours after giving birth. I urge the Victorian government to show some respect to our new mums and our newest Victorians.
