Western Metropolitan Region

Dr CUMMING (Western Metropolitan) (12:39): (1713) My question is for the Minister for Health in the other place. Will the minister please ensure that constituency questions are answered and commit to doing so in a more timely manner in the future? Constituency questions are an opportunity for the people of Victoria to have any matter of concern raised for them. Standing order 8.08 states that a constituency question must be answered within 14 days. It is therefore very disappointing to see the total contempt that the minister has for the concerns of Victorians when so many of the questions that I have asked in this house remain unanswered. At the end of last sitting week I had 17 constituency questions unanswered by the minister dating back to 5 May 2021. Will this government answer constituency questions?
