DENMARK HOSPITAL
The minister claims to be led by a Premier who has a passion for regional development. Can the minister please prove that by assuring the House and, more importantly, the people of the Denmark area that his Government will build a new hospital in Denmark before the present condemned hospital ceases operation? Hon TOM STEPHENS

The issue of health infrastructure is handled by the Minister for Health in the context of a budget. I am sure that if the member would like to ask that question of the health minister, the health minister would find that he has allies in the cabinet room as they try to roll out infrastructure around Western Australia to meet the health needs of regional Western Australians along with their metropolitan counterparts. This is a major challenge and opportunity for the State. We are lucky in this State to have the leadership of someone like Geoff Gallop, who brings to the cabinet room a sensitivity to regional Western Australia that I believe was never on offer under any previous administration, either from the coalition or us. Hon Norman Moore: Has he been to Manjimup? Hon TOM STEPHENS: I have, as have a number of his ministerial colleagues.
