METROPOLITAN
HOSPITALS — CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR SHUTDOWN
1424. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the Christmas and new
year shutdown arrangements for metropolitan public hospital clinical services
and elective surgery theatres.
(1) What will be
the average shutdown and restricted services period for metropolitan hospitals
during the upcoming Christmas and new year period?
(2) For each
metropolitan hospital, what are the proposed dates of the upcoming shutdown
period and restriction on services?
(3) If it is
longer than two weeks at any metropolitan hospital, what are the reasons for
the extended closure?
(4) Will any
non-metropolitan hospitals shut down or have restricted services for longer
than two weeks; and, if so, which hospitals and for how long will this apply
for each hospital?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question. Unfortunately, I cannot speak as fast as she can,
and, so that we are not here until Christmas, as it is quite a lengthy answer,
I seek leave to table the answer.
Leave granted.
