Health is a major issue for Victorians, but policies must focus on more than just hospitals. While we need to fund hospitals, we also need to invest in keeping people healthy - to focus on wellness, not sickness.

We currently only invest around 2% of our health budget in preventive health - this has to increase.

Our obesity, junk food, alcohol and tobacco programs seek to do just that – keep people healthy and reduce the incidence of chronic disease in our community.

This greater focus on prevention and primary health care will bring down health costs for the state too.
