We will find health savings: Plibersek The government will continue to find health savings in next week's budget, the health minister says. FEDERAL Health Minister Tanya Plibersek says the government will continue to find health savings in next week's budget. "I don't suggest we won't continue to find savings in the health budget," she told reporters in Melbourne. We will have to make sure that every single health dollar is spent in the way it gives taxpayers maximum value. We will continue to invest strongly in health. Ms Plibersek said overall health spending continued to grow very strongly. "With that we have brought new services, new drugs, better treatment, more staff, better hospitals, better health care primary facilities and I'm proud of that record," she said.
