Citing figures from the National Health Funding Body's annual report from 2016-17, Mr Jennings said the Coalition had approved $5.7 million worth of cuts to hospitals across the Calare electorate in the three years from 2017 to 2020.

The figures included $1.6 million in cuts to Bathurst Hospital and $2.85 million in cuts to Orange Health Service.

Mr Jennings said the figures exemplified the Coalition's chaotic approach to the health sector.

"The Nationals claim that they represent Australia's regional population yet they have supported the Liberals' cuts to hospitals," he said.

"They seem quite happy to let country people suffer with less services, less health care and diminished hospitals."

With Bathurst's health services in danger of facing a shortage of doctors and a decline in quality, Mr Jennings said urgent action on funding for regional hospitals is required.

"The decline in doctors can be traced back to the general practitioner [GP] tax introduced by the Coalition, which has made things harder in regional areas," he said.

In response, federal member for Calare Andrew Gee has dismissed Mr Jennings' attack as another Labor scare campaign.

"Mr Jennings is relying on an out-of-date report which doesn't distinguish between state and federal funding, but even that shows the total funding for the Western NSW Local Health District increased between 2015 and 2016," Mr Gee said.

"In Calare, the federal government has provided record funding to the region's local health districts, including a $40 million medical school and research facility for Charles Sturt University's Orange campus and a brand new MRI license for Lithgow."

"Federal funding for the Western NSW Local Health District has increased every year from $92.6 million under Labor in 2013 to $198.4 million in 2018."
