BONAROS (15:15): Supplementary: does the minister acknowledge that that shortage of services has been reported as indefinite and not temporary, and how do expecting mothers planning already to have their babies at the Whyalla hospital, with no alternative arrangements, deal with this situation?

SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:16): I think the response did refer to the alternative arrangements in that the hospital is supporting each woman to develop a personalised plan and arrange their birth at an appropriate alternative location. I don't think anyone imagines for a moment that this is an easy situation. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. C.M.
