theMinister for Health:I refer to the $14 million
funding promised for women's health centres across our state by the Premier
during the election, which was not funded in this year's budget.Given that centres
are currently overwhelmed by a backlog of women needing health care, many of
whom are fleeing or are victims of domestic violence, why has the minister not
fulfilled that promise?
