1 – 7 The complexity and scope of services delivered by Government in regional Western Australia which are common to metropolitan areas, do not allow for a concise answer to the question. The Member for Pilbara would be fully aware that each agency delivers a wide range of services to regional Western Australia. I advise that the Government is developing a framework of key indicators of regional outcomes as compared to the metropolitan area, which will produce a comparative overview of the quality of regional outcomes.
