Mr Kaine: It is called ministerial responsibility.
MR BERRY: I will accept the responsibility for the Government's position on hospitals and health in the ACT, but I will not allow and I will not foster cheap political interference in the management role of the board.
MR COLLAERY: I ask a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. In view of the Minister's statement that he has asked for regular, as he calls it, updates, I ask whether that is in response to a written direction from him or a request as Minister, written or oral. Secondly - I repeat the question - when did he last see such an update? If he has not seen an update within the last 30 days, will he resign as Minister for Health?
Mr Berry: No.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Berry?
MR BERRY: The answer is no.
Driver Training Facility
MR STEFANIAK: My question is to either the Chief Minister, or perhaps Mr Berry, but I will direct it to the Chief Minister first.
Mr Kaine: Do not waste your time addressing it to Mr Berry.
MR STEFANIAK: That is right; I will not get an answer. Maybe the Chief Minister can answer. Chief Minister, I understand that a sign has gone up at Sutton Park, the ex-police driver training facility, proclaiming it as the Transport Industry Training Centre. Has a government decision been made on the future use of that track? If so, why was that decision not made public?
MS FOLLETT: I thank Mr Stefaniak for the question. I do not have the detail before me and I am afraid that I have not seen the sign that he refers to; but I will make sure that I get a full answer for him, and as quickly as possible.
Noah's Ark Toy Library
DR KINLOCH: My question is to Mr Wood in his role as Minister for Education. We hear some worries about the Noah's Ark toy library, especially the amount of monetary support for converting facilities for that library. Could the Minister bring us up to date on the future of the library? Where, when and what rearrangements will be made?
