It
is up to the mother. I would expect those preferences to be supported,
certainly by the WA Country Health Service . If that is not the case, I am
happy to work with the member. If the member knows women who have been asked to
go to a certain place, I am more than happy to work with WACHS. I would expect
that in those circumstances, those women would be given a choice.
The SPEAKER : Members, that
concludes question time.
