MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES — SMOKING POLICY
I have a supplementary question. The minister did not answer the question about whether he has sought legal costings. Does he accept that this will harm patients who have a mental illness? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

I think I did answer that question. I do not think the minister was listening properly. Mr E.S. Ripper : Don’t make her a minister! Dr K.D. HAMES : I assure members that that was not a Freudian slip! I did answer that question in a sense. Why would I seek legal advice when the question has yet to be put?
