The minister did not answer this part of the question: will he guarantee that funding will not be taken from regional health to prop up the metropolitan health system? Mr R.C. KUCERA

AnswerView source ↗

I have answered that question. For the past two and a half years the Labor Government has given the regions more than they expected under the previous Government. We will continue to support health services for all Western Australians, unlike the apologists for Howard’s Government on the other side of the House.
