Ms SCRYMGOUR - 2001-11-27
This government is committed to introducing a freecall advice service for medical assistance. Can the minister advise the Assembly when this initiative will be implemented?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Arafura. This initiative will be introduced in the year 2003-04. We had hoped to introduce it next year, in 2002-03, but we have been left with such an appalling situation with the budget that we have had to put back further commitments, so that this can only be introduced the year later. We are disappointed that this is the case, but we will be definitely introducing this in that year.
