Bill Shorten has promised to boost hospitals funding by a "significant dimension".
But the opposition leader declined to say whether a Labor government would restore all of the commonwealth health funding cut from the states in the controversial 2014 budget.
"When it comes to our hospitals policy, we won't announce our whole policy platform tonight ... but what I can promise Australians right here, right now, is we will put more funding into hospitals than Mr Turnbull has promised by some significant dimension," Mr Shorten told the leaders' debate on Sunday.
