I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) Patients who
require amniocentesis and CVS are referred to King Edward Memorial Hospital for
Women. This practice is consistent across all general hospitals within the East
Metropolitan Health Service and aligns with best clinical practice.
(2) I am advised
that King Edward Memorial Hospital continues to offer free 19-week anatomy
screening scans.
(3) Not applicable.
