AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)–(2) WA Health financial systems identify more than 120 companies from which a minimum of $100 000 was spent on these types of expenditures over this period. Companies do not necessarily identify themselves as pharmaceutical companies; therefore, this list contains non-pharmaceutical companies. WA Health requires further refinement of the request to be able to respond appropriately.
