Health—Radiation therapy services
171. Mr Liam Staltari to the Minister for Health:
When can patients in
the north metropolitan region, who experience the same inequity as patients in
the east metropolitan region for cancer treatment, as the member for Kalamunda
flagged, expect the government to provide funding for local radiation therapy
services?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member
for the question. Again, I note that we have a matter of public interest on
this issue this afternoon, and there will be an opportunity to say more at that
time. I just reiterate my earlier point that the government
is always looking at how we can best deliver cancer services to everyone in
Western Australia, no matter where they live.
