(1) Has there been a downgrading of services provided by the Department of Agriculture’s Derby office and have some of those services been relocated to the Broome office? (2) If so, is it the minister’s intention to centralise services in Broome, thus rendering the Derby office obsolete? Hon KIM CHANCE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No services are being relocated from Derby to Broome. A veterinary officer position was advertised with the option of Broome or Derby as the location. The position was not filled. (2) No.
