On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. I am sure that the honourable member is well aware that extracting the data for these types of questions is extremely time consuming and labour-resource intensive. I request that this question be placed on notice as gathering this data will take significantly longer than the time allowed by the member. The Minister for Health always endeavours to answer questions without notice on the day they are asked; however, some are of a nature that makes it impossible. I suggest that the honourable member save her time and the time of the house by asking these types of questions as questions on notice rather than without notice.
