QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Public Hospital Beds

MR STANHOPE: My question is to the Minister for Health and Community Care. In 1995 the Chief Minister made a commitment to have 1,000 public hospital beds operational in Canberra by the end of 1999. Given that the January patient activity data shows that the total number of available beds has fallen by 49 over the last year - from 591 to 542 - can the Minister say whether the Government has formally abandoned the Chief Minister's earlier commitment?
