HOSPITALS — BED CAPACITY
330. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Premier, this is a ''yes or no'' question. Does the Premier have
the highest costing health system with the lowest number of beds per capita and
—
The SPEAKER: No ''and''.
That is it.
Mr D.J. Kelly: You're
the worst opposition per capita!
The SPEAKER: Members, order!
I would like to hear from the Premier.
Mr M. McGOWAN
replied:
That was actually quite a good
interjection. I hope it was recorded.
As I said to the member before, the
health system is extensive across the second biggest jurisdiction in the world.
It provides services and beds all over the state. Obviously, a considerable
expense is attached to that, but we invest the most per capita of any state in
Australia and we are very proud of that.
