I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. Honourable member, noting the issue with the date,
I am fairly comfortable with the answer that I have, so I will provide it
anyway.

to the Minister for Police.
(2) Yes.
(3)–(4) I
table the document, noting that appendix A, ''WA Firearms Licence Health

but will be retained by clinicians in confidence.
