RANGEVIEW REMAND CENTRE — OUTSOURCING
I have a supplementary question. A tender process was put out for someone to run that operation and that tender process has now closed. Dr K.D. Hames interjected. The SPEAKER : The Minister for Health! Mr F.M. LOGAN : He can answer it by himself; he does not need the minister’s help. The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn, ask the question. Mr F.M. LOGAN : A tender process, which is now closed, was put out. Will the minister now tell the house how many companies have tendered for that contract? Mr D.T. REDMAN

AnswerView source ↗
The Labor Party is suggesting that the government commit to a particular path. It is, “We’re going to deal with you, but we’ll sort out the price next week.” Mr F.M. Logan interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Cockburn, I have given you the supplementary question. If you want to have a continual conversation with the minister, have it outside, where you can continue to interrupt him. But at this point, I am going to suggest to you that you listen to the answer. Mr F.M. Logan interjected. The SPEAKER : I am formally going to call the member for Cockburn to order for the first time today. Mr D.T. REDMAN : It beggars belief as to how the opposition gets into trouble with contract services and their history of keeping a very efficient cost structure for public funds going into our facilities. We are working through a process with this. We will, quite rightly, as a government put it against the rigour of a strong public sector comparator. Those sorts of decisions will go before cabinet, and cabinet will make the call in due course.
