I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) An amount of $30 025 has been budgeted, incorporating a payment on 30 September 2003 for the first three months and monthly amounts thereafter, pending the finalisation of the review into services provided by the non-government sector as announced by the Minister for Health on 16 September 2003. (3) Yes. (4) Funds to the Freedom Centre through the Western Australian Aids Council will be provided at 2002-03 levels - $18 359 per quarter - by a quarterly payment due within 10 business days from 1 October 2003. The WA Aids Council is part of the review of non-government organisations as outlined in the answer to part (2). (5) An amount of $242 000 has been allocated to the sexual health education program in the sex industry for the 2003-04 financial year. (6) No reduction in funding has occurred to sex worker health education. (7) Preventive and promotional sexual health services are provided through the sexual health and blood-borne virus program in the communicable diseases control directorate within the population health division. The sexual health and blood-borne virus program receives approximately $4 million per annum. This program therefore receives about 0.15 per cent of the health budget.
