ONCOLOGY SERVICE — ALBANY
342. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. We
are now five years on. Will it be open to patients this year?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Order, please! I
would just like the Minister for Health to answer. Thanks for your help,
Minister for Mines and Petroleum, but no, thank you.
Ms A.
SANDERSON replied:
That would be my greatest hope and
wish. If we could go there and build the building ourselves—is that
what the member wants? The contractor is onsite every day building that
building. The bunker is in. It is going up. But it is losing subcontractors and
workers. That is the reality of building and construction right now. I would
love, one day, for the member for Vasse to say something constructive—just
one day!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Order, please!
Ms A. SANDERSON: There are
occasions when the Leader of the Opposition is constructive—on
occasion! Take a leaf out of her book. Being in opposition is not only about
opposing, because right now the member is opposing an oncology unit that we are
trying to build.
