Queensland health minister said federal government still has to bridge the gap on funding deal

Tim Nicholls, the Queensland health minister, said he still thinks there's a bit of water to flow under the bridge" in discussions between states and the federal government over hospital funding.

There's quite a bit of work for the commonwealth to do to step up to the mark because the last offer that was put forward was rejected by states. Because it was inadequate and failed to address the burgeoning problems that we have.

We're negotiating respectfully with them, but quite frankly, the most recent offer wasn't up to scratch, and we hope to see some improvements on it.
