Mr STEPHEN SMITH (2:54 PM)
—My question is to the Minister for Ageing. It follows on from my question to the minister yesterday about the auctioning of aged care places as part of the government's response to the Hogan review. Does the minister agree with Catholic Health Australia, which says that the result of such auctioning of beds will be that `costs will be passed on to the residents in higher fees'? Does the minister agree with this analysis? If not, why not?
Ms JULIE BISHOP (Minister for Ageing)
—I thank the member for Perth for his question. He puts a hypothetical situation to me and I do not intend to respond to hypothetical situations. The Hogan review was commissioned by this government to consider the financial options for funding aged care in Australia. The review has been completed and Professor Hogan has provided a series of recommendations to the government. The government is considering them in the context of the 2004 budget.
