facilities. It wishes to establish a convalescent unit on the site to deal with people who are ill and who are recovering from surgery or other illnesses; also to relocate the Queen Elizabeth II home for mothers and babies onto that site, and I am confident - - -
Mr Berry: How many beds?
MR HUMPHRIES: The same number of beds that are there now.
Mr Berry: Nine hundred? Four hundred? Four hundred and eighty?
MR HUMPHRIES: There are not 900 beds in the QE II home for mothers and babies, Mr Berry. I think Mr Berry should take a little trip to the QE II home to realise what the situation is. He is sadly deluded on that particular point. The third facility we have announced we intend to move to the site in due course is the Jindalee Nursing Home. I am confident that that facility would substantially benefit from relocation from its present site, where a split campus makes for some inconvenience for staff and for residents at that nursing home.
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, I request that any further questions be placed on the notice paper.
South East Economic Development Council
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, I would like to produce some answers to a couple of questions that were asked without notice in the past. On 25 October Ms Follett asked a question that had to do with the disestablishment of the Canberra Development Board and the establishment of the South East Economic Development Council.

Mr Moore: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker. I was hoping that you would intervene and protect me without my having to call for it.
MR KAINE: I am sure he will.
