AnswerView source ↗

I am very pleased to receive this question, because I have seven outstanding questions from Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich going back to August, so it is nice to get a question from her. Hon N.D. Griffiths: If they are put on notice, will you answer them on Tuesday? Hon PETER FOSS: Why did she not put them on notice in the first place? I am happy to supply them. If members have no interest in answers to questions on notice, as seems to be the case, I would prefer that they at least allow them to be handled in the normal way, instead of their making our officers run around like chooks with their heads cut off looking for an emergency answer. (1)-(2) The role of the medical advisory committee at Peel Health Campus is to offer advice and raise issues regarding a range of medical matters, to assist management in the ongoing improvement of the campus. All matters that have been raised by the medical advisory committee are being addressed to its satisfaction.
