I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Yes.
(3) Yes. The documents are considered to be
commercially sensitive and on that basis I am unable to table them.
(4) Yes. However,
this does not preclude WA Health from considering whether to bring part or all
of the service back in-house in either the WA Country Health Service or another
health service provider.
