Modbury Hospital Cardiology Services

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:37): Supplementary question: if the chest pain quick access clinic is still available, why, in August this year, was it deleted from the referral notice within NALHN?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:37): I have already indicated that I am willing to seek advice in regard to the specific question that they have made. All I am going to say is that I know the residents of the north-eastern suburbs, many of whom have been actively engaged in trying to ensure that we get a good outcome rather than a hotchpotch policy that was muddled together very quickly and very hastily because they were concerned around a reshuffle, they were concerned about whatever the news of the day is. We are going to focus on delivering that review, and make sure it delivers a good outcome for the residents of the north-eastern suburbs because that's what they deserve.
