REGIONAL HEALTH SERVICES
The minister has refused to answer the question. Will the Government decrease - Points of Order Mr KOBELKE: The standing order on supplementary questions is clear. The member for Murdoch made a statement, which is not allowed under the standing order. Therefore, he has forgone his opportunity to ask a supplementary question. Several members interjected. Mr DAY: Exchanges that are not strictly within the confines of debate often occur between one side and the other during the cut and thrust of debate in this Chamber. I know that the member for Murdoch is about to ask his question, as he was when the Leader of the House raised this point of order. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The member for Murdoch had realised the error of his ways and was starting to ask the question. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr BOARD: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is the Government decreasing the budget to country health services in order to support metropolitan health services? Yes or no? Mr KUCERA
