AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) This
matter was raised in the Liberal party room with subsequent comments from the
Minister for Health and other members. The Minister for Health has committed to
bringing a final resolution forward for a government decision that addresses
the issues raised. At the request of the minister, the Department of Health has
also been investigating and reporting on this matter.
(2) No.
The PRESIDENT : I will have a look at that answer. It
seemed a bit strange to me in that it was a party-orientated answer rather than
a government-orientated answer.
