Will the minister table the latest medical health report made available to him or the department concerning asbestos-related risks at Wittenoom; and, if not, why not? Hon JON FORD

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of this question. The Wittenoom steering committee has received the final health risk assessment report from GHD-Parsons Brinckerhoff and formally considered what recommendations it may make to cabinet as a result of that study. I expect that will go to cabinet in about a fortnight. After that meeting I will be happy to release a copy of the report to the Leader of the Opposition.
