(1) I refer to the inquiry into the Climate Health WA Inquiry, and I ask: (a) given this inquiry is the first to be established under part 15 of the Public Health Act 2016, will an evaluation of the inquiry process be undertaken; (b) if yes to (a), will the evaluation report be made publicly available; and (c) if no to (a), why not? (2) I refer to the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals Network, and I ask: (a) which Hospital Service Providers (HSP) have signed up to become members of the Network; (b) does the Minister intend to align mitigation requirements across all HSP with the State Climate Policy; and (c) if no to (b), how does the Minister intend to ensure all HSP equally apply mitigation strategies rather than leave the individual HSP to employ an ad hoc process?
