I refer to the letter to the editor from the member for Geraldton,

(1) When is the review of health services in Geraldton and
the midwest region due to be completed?
(2) Does the review incorporate consultation with
stakeholders; and, if yes, which stakeholders?
(3) If no to (2), why not, and who will be contributing to
the review?
(4) Will the minister table a copy of the review when it is
completed; and, if not, why not?
