FREMANTLE HOSPITAL — BULK-BILLING GENERAL
PRACTICE
470. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Is it not a fact that the
minister is prepared to spend millions of dollars on political advertising, but
not spend the resources to keep this important facility open for inner-city
residents—which is the real picture of his government's
priorities?

I think that question indicates that the opposition—particularly
this member even more so—does not ever listen to answers. I quite
clearly stated that the government would ensure that the facility remains at
that location. Yes, the shadow minister is exactly right: it is a clear
reflection of the dedication of this government to provide services for the
people of Fremantle.
