QuestionView source ↗

I refer the Treasurer to the answer to question without notice 664 given yesterday, in which it was stated that the capital works expenditure for health care would be $222.8 million in 2005-06. (1) Will the Treasurer confirm that the figure given yesterday is only $2.4 million more than the $220.4 million allocated in the 2005-06 budget? (2) When will the $800 million allocated to health care, which was announced yesterday, be spent? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question. However, I indicated earlier that I do not have the answer to that question. Hon Norman Moore : The information provided to me was that it may turn up during question time. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : I indicated that it may. In view of the fact that I do not have it and it is still question time, it still may turn up in the last three minutes, but until now it has not turned up. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order! Hon Barbara Scott wishes to ask a question and I wish to listen to her.
