(1)–(2)
That is a good question and I do not know all the answers, because I am not
sure about the mental health component, but I know that we are providing no
further health services at that site. All the health services will be moved off
the site and my understanding is that we are handing it over to the Minister for
Lands to have management of it, as we have with Shenton Park. I do not have any
responsibility for that anymore.
Mrs M.H. Roberts So the dental clinic remains there, minister?
The SPEAKER :
Member for Midland!
Dr K.D. HAMES :
That is why I was saying I am not certain. I will need to check and find out
those specific things for the member, because we have already handed over
responsibility to the Minister for Lands. But it is a good question and I will
find the answer for the member.
