Thursday, 13 December 1990

__________________________

MR SPEAKER (Mr Prowse) took the chair at 10.30 am and read the prayer.

HEALTH SERVICES BILL 1990

Detail Stage

Debate resumed from 12 December 1990.

Clause 1 agreed to.

Clauses 2 to 5, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Clause 6

MR BERRY (10.32): I move:

Page 4, at end of paragraph 6(1)(a), add the following new words and subparagraphs:

"to include, without limiting such services:

(i) medical and hospital services;

(ii) diagnostic,  therapeutic  and rehabilitation services;

(iii) dental services;

(iv) nursing services;

(v) public health services;

(vi) ambulance and other transport services, including those services outside the Territory for residents of the Territory;

(vii) research and advisory services;

(viii) forensic and veterinary laboratory services; and

(ix) any service which is incidental to a service referred to in this subsection.".

The amendment seeks to include a description of the services that would be provided under the heading of "Functions" of the Board of Health. It is important, from the Labor Opposition's point of view, to include a clear description of the functions of the Board of Health in order that it is clear to anybody who makes reference to the Act that those services are indeed provided by the Board.
