The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) has released a scathing review of a Morrison-government-era health and hospital grant funding program. 

The funding processes for the $2 billion Community Health and Hospitals program, which was set up prior to the 2019 election, have been deemed "ineffective and fell short of ethical requirements".
