I refer the Premier to an answer the Minister for Health gave earlier today in response to a question about emergency department upgrades. Specifically, I refer to his statement to the effect that these upgrades were due to be completed by March next year. Mr J.A. McGinty: I think it was May actually. Mr C.J. BARNETT: All right, they were to be completed by May next year - the minister can take his pick. I also refer the Premier to a press release issued by the former Minister for Health on 8 January 2002, which states - · $8million for the construction of a new emergency department at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. Planning for its construction began this week and an architect should be appointed by the end of February. The project is expected to be completed by March 2003; . . . · $6.5million to completely rebuild the emergency department at Rockingham-Kwinana District Hospital. The planning process for the redevelopment - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mr C.J. BARNETT: The press release continues - The planning process for the redevelopment is already under way and an architect will be appointed immediately. Construction should commence in mid-to-late 2002 and is expected to be completed by February 2003; Therefore, will the Premier now instruct the Minister for Health to apologise to this House and to immediately correct the parliamentary record? Dr G.I. GALLOP

I remind the Leader of the Opposition that work has commenced on both those important projects. I have made it very clear in this Parliament - Mr C.J. Barnett: What happened to your code of conduct? Dr G.I. GALLOP: Hang on. I have made it clear to the Leader of the Opposition on many occasions that I never trust opposition members when they ask a question like this. I will tell members why. They are on the record as having presented misleading information. I will take that question on notice. Mr C.J. Barnett: You misled the House. You may have done it inadvertently, but you misled the House. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Dr G.I. GALLOP: The subject of misleading the House is very interesting. I will remind members that last week, the Leader of the Opposition talked about - Mr C.J. Barnett: Answer the question; it is in black and white. Where is your accountability now Premier? Where are your parliamentary standards? The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Dr G.I. GALLOP: The Leader of the Opposition talked about the relationship between the Public Sector Management Act and Western Power corporation. The Leader of the Opposition was wrong. Has he corrected the record? Mr C.J. Barnett: Where are your standards? The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Mr C.J. Barnett: You are too scared to correct the Minister for Health. The SPEAKER: I call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time. Dr G.I. GALLOP: The Leader of the Opposition can put his question on notice. I will consult with the Minister for Health about this matter and, Mr Speaker, you can be guaranteed that whatever the case is, it will be properly reported to the Parliament by this Government.
