MRS DUNNE: Why are you still not across the health portfolio a year after becoming minister and nearly two years after becoming assistant minister?

MS FITZHARRIS: I am.

MR WALL: Minister, what actions have you taken to ensure that you are better briefed in the future?

MS FITZHARRIS: I am well briefed, and I stay in touch regularly with my directorate.

Municipal services—Dickson

MS LEE: My question is to the Minister for Transport and City Services. Minister, in response to a concern that I raised with your office for a constituent, you wrote to my office on 31 August 2017 confirming that your directorate had identified that the raised paving at Dickson Place would be designated as a shared zone and that appropriate signage and public notice would take place by the end of September 2017. Minister, why has this still not happened?

MS FITZHARRIS: Forgive me: off the top of my head I do not know the location of Dickson Place. Could Ms Lee clarify?

Ms Lee: I can certainly clarify if it will help the Minister. It is the area within the Dickson shopping centre in front of the Woolworths, where the car park is. There is a raised area there.

MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice.

MS LEE: Minister, given the current confusion over the status of the raised paving at that location, what is the government doing in the meantime to alert pedestrians to exercise caution in that shared zone where there are cars and pedestrians quite frequently?

MS FITZHARRIS: I will take the question on notice.

MS LAWDER: Minister, are there any areas in other local shops involving raised paving that have been identified to be changed into shared zones, yet have not yet had the appropriate signage erected?

MS FITZHARRIS: Not to my knowledge, but I will take the question on notice.

Public housing—renewal program

MS CODY: My question is to the Minister for Housing and Suburban Development. I understand the public housing renewal program has just reached the midway point. Could you provide the Assembly with an update?
