HEALTH SYSTEM - MANAGEMENT

Debate resumed.

MS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.15): Mr Speaker, it has been very interesting listening to the debate this morning, as I did from upstairs, because it is very hard for me, after being so involved in health for so long, to accept that the Labor Party would even be game to put up a motion about the management of health by this Government. But they have put up such a motion, and I suppose that means we really do need to talk about it. Let us look first at what they did in government, when Mr Berry was at the helm. I think that is important, Mr Speaker, because you have to have some base upon which to compare. We can compare with other health systems around Australia, and some comments have been made already about those comparisons.
