More fed health cuts to hit Victoria

A change to an accounting formula will see another $73 million in federal health funding taken out of Victoria.

Victoria will lose another $73 million in federal health funding after an accounting change.

Health Minister Jill Hennessy says a change in how the National Health Funding Pool is calculated and allocated will leave the state worse off.

"This is a really significant amount of money, $73 million is about 12,000 elective surgeries," Ms Hennessy told reporters on Thursday.
