Nicola Roxon (Gellibrand, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Health and Ageing) Share this | Hansard source

As I have made clear, the processes that we promised—consultation with our local communities—are occurring. The processes are well underway. Two contracts have already been signed. I think the number—off the top of my head—is 11 or 12 that have now completed their tender process. There are another four or five where the tenders are nearly closed. Of course, with a new program you will see the consultation phase first and the delivery phase second. We believe in getting that the right way round, and we are determined to stick with it.
