Hospital Beds

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:04): My question is to the Premier. Why hasn't the Premier sought assurances that all beds across the hospital system are open and being used?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order: the question contains argument and offends standing order 97.

The SPEAKER: And proceeds on a premise that has not been established by leave or otherwise. I don't know if the leader wishes to seek leave, otherwise I will move on, but I uphold the point of order.
