Warrandyte electorate
Ryan SMITH (Warrandyte) (14:48): (7) I would like to raise a matter for the Minister for Health in relation to a seven-year-old girl in my electorate who must undergo heart surgery. The Royal Children’s Hospital first advised that this surgery could be up to a year away, but following another consultation this has now blown out to three years. I would like to ask the minister: can she work with me to expedite this surgery? I am sure many of us could imagine the stress that we would all feel if this was one of our own children. The family does not want their name publicly raised, but if the minister needs more detail I am happy to provide that privately.
