DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH — RENTAL FOR OFFICES
I refer to the minister’s sudden change of heart on the plush offices he approved for former health director, Dr Neale Fong. (1) With Department of Health staff now moving out of those offices, have the rental agreements on the Alvan Street and Centro Avenue offices been terminated? (2) If so, what is the cost of terminating those contracts? (3) Can the minister confirm that the rental of offices in Osborne Park either has been or is currently being negotiated to house staff from Dr Neale Fong’s former offices who cannot fit into Royal Street? Mr J.A. McGINTY
