PETITION
The Clerk: The following petition has been lodged for presentation, and a copy will be referred to the appropriate Minister:
Skateboard Facilities
To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: that skateboard facilities recently located on the shores of Lake Ginninderra have been situated close to a residential area. Unsupervised use of this facility and surrounding carparks late at night is resulting in residents being kept awake. We are also concerned that the addition of floodlights to the facility will exacerbate our problem.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: look into the possibility of enclosing the skateboard facility and restricting its use to reasonable hours.
By Mr Duby (from 19 citizens).
QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Hospital Services Budget
MS FOLLETT: My question is to Mr Humphries, as Minister for Health. I ask Mr Humphries: Will Mr Jim Service continue to work part time and without pay as chairman of the hospitals board, following your decision to give him control of the financial management?
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I see no basis for any change in Mr Service's position in terms of his remuneration, or rather, lack of it. As far as I am concerned, I do not expect Mr Service to take personal responsibility in the sense of personal, day-to-day, hands-on management responsibility for hospital finances. I do expect him to appoint a financial controller as soon as possible, whose job it will be to perform that task. I think Mr Service's extensive experience in this area will provide him with ample opportunities to make that arrangement work quite adequately.
