SIR CHARLES GAIRDNER HOSPITAL - BREAST SCREENING CLINIC
I refer to the breast screening clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and ask - (1) Will the ultrasound machine that is approximately 13 years old, and obviously outdated, be replaced this year? (2) The clinic is seen by the public as a centre of excellence, yet there are only two ultra machines, one that is four years old and one that is 13 years old. Will the minister give a commitment that the old machine will be replaced this year? Hon SUE ELLERY
