I thank the member for some notice of his question. (1) The budget allocations for the South West Health Service for the past three years are - 2001-02 - $99.362 million 2002-03 - $100.153 million 2003-04 - $108.129 million (2) The executive management group is made up of the five previous general managers of the south west. The operations centre is a reorganisation of senior staff from the previously based five health districts into a unit that manages day-to-day issues and out-of-hours management of direct-care services. The overall cost of the South West Health Service executive management group and operations centre is $1.105 million. The overall cost of directors of nursing on site at each hospital is $1.428 million. (3) The community manager will be responsible for all direct-care functions on a day-to-day basis. All hospitals are staffed 24 hours a day with senior registered nurses to deal with direct-care functions. Within the structure is an executive director of nursing who oversees all direct-care functions.
