Regional Radiation Treatment Services

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:13): Supplementary: what advocacy has the minister undertaken for the 20,000-plus constituents who have been calling for these facilities?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:13): I have had a number of interactions with the Minister for Health, with also the local group that was set up. In fact, there was a meeting here in Parliament House, which I attended with also the Minister for Health. I am very pleased that there are steps being taken to look at how such a service might operate in a regional context in the South-East and that we are doing some work on it, the work that those opposite and their predecessors failed to do.
