Yes, I care enormously about the availability and impact of medical services. Mr B.J. Grylls : I could give you one example of this every week. Mr J.A. McGINTY : We have to make sure that the services are available. The child was seen by a doctor at Tom Price. Surgical intervention was necessary because of the degree of severity. That was done at Port Hedland Regional Hospital the following morning. I have explained all the circumstances. Obviously, it is of enormous concern to me to make sure that the public hospital system runs well. Each year, the public hospital system in Western Australia treats 1.5 million people. It is my job to make sure that everyone of those 1.5 million Western Australian citizens treated in our public hospital system receives the optimal level of care.
