I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Fifty-five. (2) Fifty-seven. (3)-(5) No. Child health centres do not have formal waiting lists. Clients are offered the first available appointment either as a centre appointment or a home visit. Families with a new baby are generally offered an appointment within one to two weeks.
