I have a supplementary question. Is the minister effectively saying that obstetric services at Kalamunda at the moment are unsafe, and when does the minister intend to withdraw these services? Mr J.A. McGINTY

AnswerView source ↗

The member should read the Cohen report. That will speak to him from an expert point of view and will provide the answer. As I have indicated, the Government is not in any great hurry to rush into implementing these things, but they constitute part of the plan and will be implemented.
