MINISTER FOR HEALTH

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 1376

Woden Valley Hospital - Cafeteria

Mr Cornwell asked the Minister for Health:

In relation to my question in the Assembly of 19 May 1994 about the restricted hours available to the public wishing to use the cafeteria at Woden Valley Hospital and your advice to me to "Watch that space"-

(1) Has the dispute between your Government and the relevant union been resolved and, if not, why not?

(?) How long has the cafeteria been offering only restricted hours to the public?

(3) How much longer must I "Watch that space" before a full and convenient service is provided to the public?

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is:

(1) The negotiations between the Government and the Health Services Union of Australia have been finalised and agreement reached between the parties.

(?) The cafeteria has been offering restricted hours to the public since December 1993.

(3) I anticipate that the new coffee shop facility will be available to the public at Woden Valley Hospital by about Christmas 1994, given that the operator of the service has yet to design, fit-out and staff the facility.
