Mr Hanson: The question was specifically about the reasons for the downgrade from A status to D status, rather than what is being done to address that issue. Why has it been downgraded?

MADAM SPEAKER: I think at the very beginning she made reference to relationships and working conditions and then went on to say what actions have occurred since. You have six seconds left, minister.
MS FITZHARRIS: No, thank you.
MR HANSON: Minister, what representations or information have you received about the problems with the culture in the medical imaging department at the Canberra Hospital?

MRS DUNNE: Minister, will you table the preliminary accreditation report and the final accreditation report that you mentioned in question time in relation to the Canberra Hospital medical imaging department by the close of business this sitting week?
MS FITZHARRIS: I will seek advice and take that question on notice.
