NARROGIN REGIONAL HOSPITAL CT SCANNER
I have a supplementary question. As the minister says it is not a priority and acknowledges that Narrogin is a major regional hospital, does he agree that it should have a CT scanner? Mr J.A. McGINTY

AnswerView source ↗

I would certainly like to see a CT scanner installed at Narrogin hospital but, as with all things within the extensive capital works budget, particularly the capital equipment budget of the health department, it is a matter of making priorities. Therefore, the answer to the member’s question is yes, but it is always a question of weighing up priorities.
