QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre near Northam, and I ask -
(1) Will the State Government play any role in the provision of medical services to detainees at the centre?
(2) If no to (1), who will provide medical services for the centre?
(3) Will medical staff for the centre be sourced locally?
(4) If yes to (3), will the Minister intervene to ensure the recruitment of medical staff does not impact on medical service provision in Northam given the community is currently experiencing a shortage of General Practitioners?
(5) If no to (3), where will the service provider recruit medical staff?
