I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I just make the point as an aside that this would
require a search across the WA Country Health Service, not just for where
services have been reduced or cancelled, but the reasons for each time and the
length of time. It would not be possible to collect that information within
four hours. Therefore, the minister's answer is as follows.
To allow for a fulsome and accurate
answer, may I please request that the honourable member place the question on
notice.
