Blood tests for cancer patients, elderly free under Labor | Sky News Australia

Millions of blood tests for older Australians and cancer patients would be free under a Bill Shorten Labor government. The Opposition leader is expected to make the $200 million pledge in the Adelaide seat of Boothby on Tuesday.

Health remains the major focus of the Labor Party's campaign, with Mr Shorten pledging to increase hospitals funding up to a 50 per cent split with the states,. Although he promises to match state funding, the 50,50 split would unlikely happen until 2024. Image: News Corp Australia
