PERTH CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL — AISHWARYA ASWATH
98. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Minister, if it will take six months to implement these recommendations, what
confidence can the people of WA have in the system in the meantime?

AnswerView source ↗

The member should have listened to
my answer, which was that we will not wait for six months to implement the review and that it will be an ongoing iterative
process that will clearly feed from the experience of others. The member should listen to the answers in the same way that we would hope she would
listen to the briefing she was given on this matter.
