HOSPITAL BED NUMBERS - SELECT COMMITTEE

Papers and Government Response

MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I seek leave of the Assembly to table a written speech which would have been the tabling speech for the report of the Select Committee on Hospital Bed Numbers. I seek leave to table that speech and have it incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 10.

DR KINLOCH: Mr Speaker, similarly, I ask for leave to table my speech on the same subject and to have it incorporated in Hansard.

MR SPEAKER: I am concerned about the incorporation of speeches in Hansard. The reason, of course, is that a speech can be of a five- or 10-minute duration. By incorporating a speech in Hansard, one could gain unfair advantage by incorporating a speech of a half-hour duration or more. However, under the circumstances, the feeling of the Assembly on this auspicious occasion is that Dr Kinloch should be given leave.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 11.

MRS GRASSBY: Mr Speaker, I too ask for leave to table my speech on the hospital beds inquiry and have it incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 12.

MR BERRY (Minister for Health and Minister for Sport): Mr Speaker, I table the Government's response to the report of the ACT Legislative Assembly Select Committee on Hospital Bed Numbers and seek leave to have it incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 13.
