Budget - Access to Women's Healthcare

Ms   BURNET   question   to   MINISTER   for   HEALTH,   MENTAL   HEALTH   and   WELLBEING, Mrs ARCHER

[11.14 a.m.]

My   question   is   from   Sophie,   in   North   Hobart:   I've   been   struggling   to   access   appropriate care   and   resources   for   endometriosis   and   adenomyosis   in   the   public   system   and   have   in   the   past   faced   over   eight   weeks'   wait   time   for   colposcopy,   with   the   result   leading   to   cancer   and   then   preventative   surgery,   which   could   have   been   avoided   with   earlier   intervention.   Will   access to women's healthcare become harder if there are cuts to the health department?
