(1) Is the minister aware that a tendering process needs to be undertaken to obtain federal funding for the positron emission topography facility? If so, why did the minister fail to put in a bid? If not, why is the minister failing in his duties to provide adequate health care in this State? (2) Is the minister aware that by failing to bid for federal funding, cancer patients will be unable to claim the Medicare rebate? If so, why is the minister unwilling to assist Western Australians financially? If not, why not?
