Community Affairs Legislation Committee : 03/06/98 : DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND FAMILY SERVICES : Program 4—Family and children's services : Subprogram 4.1—Children's services : [Senate Estimates]

Senator NEAL —Just looking at the outputs which commence on page 141, it lists various objects of the children's services, but it does not actually say how well the department measured against that criteria. That is how it reads to me. If that is not the case, maybe you could

Senator FORSHAW —There are a number of issues that we wish to cover in 1.1, and it may end up being quite a lot. It is usually a fairly lengthy session. I would just indicate I certainly want to look at immunisation, the national illicit drugs strategy, and the national

Senator FORSHAW --Thank you, Chair.

Senator NEAL --I think I asked you this question last time, but I will try again: does the department have information about fee increases over the last 12 months? Mr Wight --The information that we have indicates that, as at last September 1996, average fees across the country were $152 per week of full-time
