FINALLY, MR SPEAKER, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SOME CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. I WOULD LIKE TO REMARK ON THE EXCELLENT WORK PERFORMED BY THE STAFF AT THE WODEN VALLEY HOSPITAL, PARTICULARLY IN THE ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY SECTION, WHO THROUGH FAST TRACKING OF THE CLOSURE OF THE ROYAL CANBERRA HOSPITAL, HAVE PUT UP WITH CONDITIONS FAR WORSE THAN ANY MEDICAL TEAM WORKING IN A WAR ZONE.

I ALSO APPLAUD THE ADVICE AND CO-OPERATION THAT THE BOARD OF HEALTH GAVE TO THIS INQUIRY PROCESS. NO WHERE IN THE REPORT HAS IT BEEN SHOWN THAT NOT ONLY IS THE A.C.T. BOARD OF HEALTH RUNNING A HOSPITAL SYSTEM AND A COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM, BUT IT IS ALSO PERFORMING THE FUNCTION OF A DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND CREDIT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE WORK DONE IN THIS AREA.

THANK YOU, MR

SPEAKER.
