WOMEN'S AND BABIES' HOSPITAL —INFRASTRUCTURE
WESTERN AUSTRALIA REVIEW
506. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. How can the Premier justify this report given
that it ignored clinical service outcomes and operational planning
benefits that point to the risk of danger and disability for our most
vulnerable patients?
Ms A. Sanderson : Stop
scaremongering. Stop it!
Dr D.J. Honey : That is what
they said. That is what doctors have said.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Cottesloe and
Minister for Health! It is not helpful, member for Cottesloe, for you to add a further question or whatever you were
doing at the end of the question. It is also not helpful to have interjections from other ministers.

The member for Vasse asked me a question
about the assessment of the business case by Infrastructure WA. She does not
like the answer, so her supplementary question is to pivot to some other part
of her political language in an effort to try to sustain this debate, and it
will not work. I think everybody now understands what the member stands for—nothing!
