Senator Fitzgerald called for a debate with the Minister for Health and Children on the challenges facing the Department of Health and Children. I have no difficulty arranging such a debate in the coming days, weeks or as soon as we can arrange a date in the Minister's diary. The Minister has always been very forthcoming in coming to the House. While I agree with much of what Senator Prendergast said, the Minister has come to the House on at least three occasions over the past three years and has briefed it on the up-to-date position. We want the up-date-proposals now that the figures are emerging. Serious challenges face the Department of Health and Children, in particular.
