Labor pushes for maternity services ahead of Eden-Monaro by-election

Labor has turned the focus on its campaign for the upcoming Eden-Monaro by-election to health as it pushes for federal funding for maternity services in Yass. Eden-Monaro Labor hopeful Kirsty McBain and Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen met with mothers in Yass who were forced to give birth on the side of the Barton Highway on their way to Canberra. The NSW regional town was left without maternity services after funding was withdrawn by the Labor government in 2004. After receiving backlash for a flippant comment by the Prime Minister in Parliament over the conditions, the PM’s office issued a statement which said health matters were the responsibility of the state. The statement also said funding was allocated by the government according to the level of demand. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
