Peel Health Campus—Breast assessment clinic
Petition
Mrs Lisa Munday (Dawesville) (9:05 am): I have a petition on behalf of myself and the member for Mandurah, which has been certified by the clerks, from 346 petitioners, in the following terms:
To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled.
We, the undersigned, say:
With respect to a breast assessment, you would usually have a breast examination followed by one, more or all of the following tests: Mammogram, ultrasound scan, core biopsy and fine needle aspiration, with the possibility of other tests deemed by the Assessment team.
Having a Breast Assessment Clinic in the Peel region would allow potential breast cancer patients to receive the full assessment in the one clinic and in their local area with the support of their families. Therefore, reducing the emotional, physical, mental and financial impact of their cancer diagnosis.
Now we ask the Legislative Assembly to recommend and support the allocation of Government funding for the provision of a Breast Assessment Clinic at Peel Health Campus.
(See petition 14.)
Mrs Lisa Munday: I also have a large number of signatures—2,863 signatures—in a nonconforming format, bringing the total to 3,209 signatures on this matter.
