712. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the minister end the litany of excuses and
deflections and finally admit that the Western Australian health system is not
in an exciting phase, but is in crisis at the worst possible time for our
state?

Members opposite never miss an
opportunity to raise their negativity. They never miss an opportunity to just
drag in this negativity and try to drag the
people of Western Australia down with them. We will not fall for that. We have had a comprehensive report into this incident and the panel reported that this
is an exemplary paediatric hospital that,
across a range of metrics, outstrips all the other comparable paediatric
hospitals in this country. We will continue to support it and we will
make sure that our hospital system continues to evolve, continues to be
supported and continues to have the resources it needs to provide world-class
health care.
