Catherine House

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:09): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding human services. How many of the women in Catherine House today are going to end up ramped at a hospital in an overcrowded emergency department when funding for their home and supports disappear on 30 June?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:10): That has to be one of the most peculiar questions I have ever been asked. I don't even know how to begin to answer something that is a hypothetical in the future. I know that the assumptions behind it are wrong and I would refer the honourable member, in terms of the assumptions that have been made in putting this rather peculiar question together, to my previous answer.
