Mr Jennings said that throughout the Calare electorate there has been $5,750,000 cut from health funding over that period.

"How can the Nats say they support country people when they under fund essential services?" he said.

Mr Jennings said that smaller centres such as Blayney needed to be able bring in specialist services from around the district to service the residents, saving them from having to travel.

"In the cities or larger centres you can travel to them because they may be in the next suburb or somewhere nearby," he said.

"But in a place like Blayney those specialist services should be funded properly so that they can come here whenever they're needed," he said.

Mr Jennings also supported the drive to get a doctor at the Blayney MPS.

"One of the key strengths of the Labor Party is our belief in a cradle to grave support structure and we'll certainly be lobbying hard for a doctor at the hospital here."

During a tour of Blayney with the Blayney Chronicle Mr Jennings said that of all the centres in the central west, Blayney's workers had the most to gain from a change to a Labor Government.

"Many of Blayney's workforce earn less than $48,000 so these are the people that will benefit more from Labor's tax cuts for those on lower incomes," he said.

Mr Jennings added that Labor would re-introduce penalty rates for those working in the hospitality and retail sectors.
