Cancer Treatment Services: Statements (Resumed).

 

In general, I welcome the quality of today's debate and I am sure the Minister for Health and Children will take into account what has been said. Many Senators expressed their great appreciation for the tremendous work undertaken by the hospice movement. In my opening remarks, I referred to the substantial State investment that has been made in palliative care in recent years. That investment can only work, however, if we have co-operation from the hospice movement, which has been forthcoming. I acknowledge the great work that has been done in that regard. I join with other Senators who paid tribute to the work of the hospice movement, which has helped the State so much.
