❓ Question regarding health capital works budget and implementation of the Reid report. Minister avoids direct answer, instead attacking questioner's credibility.
AnsweredQoN 216Legislative Assembly
QuestionView source ↗
I refer the minister to the budget papers “tabled” by The West Australian this morning and yesterday, which show that the Government has budgeted - Mr R.C. Kucera: Your depth of research is amazing! Mr M.F. BOARD: We are all capable of reading the paper. It shows that the Government has budgeted $162 million for health capital works in 2004-05. (1) Can the minister confirm that, in order to properly fund the implementation of the Reid report while maintaining the existing program, the Government needs to double the health capital works budget each year for the next 12 years, as it has already publicly committed to? (2) Does the minister concede that capital works funding for health services in 2004-05 falls far short of this target? (3) Given this shortfall in funding, is the minister going to abandon long-awaited existing capital works upgrades to Kalamunda and Margaret River hospitals, or does he intend to abandon some of the recommendations of the Reid review? Mr J.A. McGINTY
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I think we all learnt a little lesson about the member for Murdoch yesterday when he misled the House. Mr M.F. Board: That was right. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member stood up during question time and said this in relation to the tragic events at the Swan mental health facility - Why were the work safety orders issued by WorkSafe WA not complied with by the due date? Mr M.F. Board: Correct. Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is not correct. The member misled the House in posing that question. Secondly, he then said - Why has the mental health service been told by the Department of Health that work safety orders will not be complied with due to budget cuts at the health service? Mr M.F. Board: That is correct also. Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is a bare-faced lie. Withdrawal of Remark Mr R.F. JOHNSON: Mr Speaker, I am sure you are aware of why I am on my feet. It is because the minister is in contravention of the standing orders of this House. He has accused one of my colleagues of lying. I ask you to direct him to withdraw that comment and apologise. The SPEAKER: It is common knowledge that that word is unparliamentary and I ask the minister to withdraw that comment. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch came into this House and said something that was totally untrue. This is important because it relates to the question that was posed by the member. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mr J.A. McGINTY: This is immediately relevant to the question that has just been posed. For the benefit of members, I will table a copy of the WorkSafe Western Australia improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility, including a three-page summary that shows that no work safety order issued by WorkSafe has not been complied with by the due date. Mr M.F. Board: That is incorrect. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I will table the information. The member provided no evidence whatsoever - Mr M.F. Board: Go and have a look; I was there and saw it for myself. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch misled the House yesterday. I can give him the benefit of the doubt; he was given false information. He should not come in here without checking his information. I table the WorkSafe improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility and a summary of them. [See papers Nos 2311 and 2312.] Mr J.A. McGINTY: I have established that the member for Murdoch cannot be relied on to tell the truth in this place, because he did not tell the truth yesterday when he came in here and tried to grab a sensational headline. Mr M.F. Board: I went there. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member is not an honourable person based on this performance. If the member reads the improvement notices and the dates on them, he will realise that he will need to apologise later today in this place for having misled the House. Everyone should understand that. The basis of the question that has just been posed by the member for Murdoch suffers the same defect.

Everyone should understand that. The basis of the question that has just been posed by the member for Murdoch suffers the same defect.
Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is not correct. The member misled the House in posing that question. Secondly, he then said - Why has the mental health service been told by the Department of Health that work safety orders will not be complied with due to budget cuts at the health service? Mr M.F. Board: That is correct also. Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is a bare-faced lie. Withdrawal of Remark Mr R.F. JOHNSON: Mr Speaker, I am sure you are aware of why I am on my feet. It is because the minister is in contravention of the standing orders of this House. He has accused one of my colleagues of lying. I ask you to direct him to withdraw that comment and apologise. The SPEAKER: It is common knowledge that that word is unparliamentary and I ask the minister to withdraw that comment. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch came into this House and said something that was totally untrue. This is important because it relates to the question that was posed by the member. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mr J.A. McGINTY: This is immediately relevant to the question that has just been posed. For the benefit of members, I will table a copy of the WorkSafe Western Australia improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility, including a three-page summary that shows that no work safety order issued by WorkSafe has not been complied with by the due date. Mr M.F. Board: That is incorrect. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I will table the information. The member provided no evidence whatsoever - Mr M.F. Board: Go and have a look; I was there and saw it for myself. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch misled the House yesterday. I can give him the benefit of the doubt; he was given false information. He should not come in here without checking his information. I table the WorkSafe improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility and a summary of them. [See papers Nos 2311 and 2312.] Mr J.A. McGINTY: I have established that the member for Murdoch cannot be relied on to tell the truth in this place, because he did not tell the truth yesterday when he came in here and tried to grab a sensational headline.

Mr R.C. Kucera: Your depth of research is amazing! Mr M.F. BOARD: We are all capable of reading the paper. It shows that the Government has budgeted $162 million for health capital works in 2004-05. (1) Can the minister confirm that, in order to properly fund the implementation of the Reid report while maintaining the existing program, the Government needs to double the health capital works budget each year for the next 12 years, as it has already publicly committed to? (2) Does the minister concede that capital works funding for health services in 2004-05 falls far short of this target? (3) Given this shortfall in funding, is the minister going to abandon long-awaited existing capital works upgrades to Kalamunda and Margaret River hospitals, or does he intend to abandon some of the recommendations of the Reid review? Mr J.A. McGINTY replied: (1)-(3) I think we all learnt a little lesson about the member for Murdoch yesterday when he misled the House. Mr M.F. Board: That was right. Mr J.A.

Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch misled the House yesterday. I can give him the benefit of the doubt; he was given false information. He should not come in here without checking his information. I table the WorkSafe improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility and a summary of them. [See papers Nos 2311 and 2312.] Mr J.A. McGINTY: I have established that the member for Murdoch cannot be relied on to tell the truth in this place, because he did not tell the truth yesterday when he came in here and tried to grab a sensational headline. Mr M.F. Board: I went there. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member is not an honourable person based on this performance. If the member reads the improvement notices and the dates on them, he will realise that he will need to apologise later today in this place for having misled the House. Everyone should understand that. The basis of the question that has just been posed by the member for Murdoch suffers the same defect.
(3) Given this shortfall in funding, is the minister going to abandon long-awaited existing capital works upgrades to Kalamunda and Margaret River hospitals, or does he intend to abandon some of the recommendations of the Reid review? Mr J.A. McGINTY replied: (1)-(3) I think we all learnt a little lesson about the member for Murdoch yesterday when he misled the House. Mr M.F. Board: That was right. Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member stood up during question time and said this in relation to the tragic events at the Swan mental health facility - Why were the work safety orders issued by WorkSafe WA not complied with by the due date? Mr M.F. Board: Correct. Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is not correct. The member misled the House in posing that question. Secondly, he then said - Why has the mental health service been told by the Department of Health that work safety orders will not be complied with due to budget cuts at the health service? Mr M.F. Board: That is correct also. Mr J.A. McGINTY: That is a bare-faced lie. Withdrawal of Remark Mr R.F. JOHNSON: Mr Speaker, I am sure you are aware of why I am on my feet. It is because the minister is in contravention of the standing orders of this House. He has accused one of my colleagues of lying. I ask you to direct him to withdraw that comment and apologise. The SPEAKER: It is common knowledge that that word is unparliamentary and I ask the minister to withdraw that comment. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr J.A. McGINTY: The member for Murdoch came into this House and said something that was totally untrue. This is important because it relates to the question that was posed by the member. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mr J.A. McGINTY: This is immediately relevant to the question that has just been posed. For the benefit of members, I will table a copy of the WorkSafe Western Australia improvement notices for the Swan Valley facility, including a three-page summary that shows that no work safety order issued by WorkSafe has not been complied with by the due date.

If the member reads the improvement notices and the dates on them, he will realise that he will need to apologise later today in this place for having misled the House. Everyone should understand that. The basis of the question that has just been posed by the member for Murdoch suffers the same defect.
