development application which was the subject of the question, and no doubt it will be considered as part of that process.
Hospitals—emergency department performance
MS STEPHEN-SMITH: In Miss C Burch’s question she clearly implied that I had replied in two different ways to a question on notice that was exactly the same as a question I was asked in this place. I clarify for the Assembly that the question I was asked on notice was a prospective question about the performance in a quarter for the Canberra Hospital emergency department and the question that Mr Parton asked me two days ago was:
… how did the Canberra Hospital and Calvary hospital public emergency departments perform against their targets in the fourth quarter of 2018-19?
It was a retrospective question. Of course I will provide the detail of that on notice when it is available.
Gungahlin—policing resources
MR GENTLEMAN: I have some more information for Mr Milligan and Mr Coe in relation to questions on policing. I can advise that ACT Policing is intelligence informed and uses information to prioritise and direct its workforce to best serve the people of Canberra. ACT Policing deploys resources flexibly to ensure an appropriate police response to target and disrupt those seeking to cause harm in all suburbs in the Canberra community. Nine of the 68 recruits, or 13 per cent of the most recent three recruit courses were deployed to the Gungahlin police station.
On 30 May this year the government announced $33.9 million in funding to transition to a community-focused policing model which will see increased efforts aimed at the prevention and disruption of crime before it occurs. This marks the first step towards the new community-focused model of policing which will focus on the effective use of intelligence, building proactive policing capacity and growing community engagement capabilities.
