AnswerView source ↗
(1) All health services are reviewing their service delivery to ensure they best meet the needs of the local population and are both effective and efficient. Access to 24-hour accident and emergency and hospital services for the people of Exmouth and surrounding areas will be maintained. (2) Not applicable. Point of Order Hon N.F. MOORE: Mr President, I seek your advice. The other day I asked a question of which some notice had been given. It was answered off-the-cuff by the Minister for Housing, because he did not have an answer from the appropriate minister. I want to ask the same question of the appropriate minister on this occasion. I ask whether I can do that. The PRESIDENT: If the Leader of the Opposition proceeds, we will see what happens.
