The waiting list in public hospitals for elective surgery is long already, how will public hospitals cope with this?

I think this is a great initiative but it's not a complete solution. Instead of funding surgery, why doesn't the government fund personal trainers first? Or make access to dieticians easier? (I saw a dietician as a teenager in a public hospital but I don't know if that's available in all states or if it's available at all for people over 18).
