Pursuant to standing order 74(5), I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing for an explanation as to why an answer has not been provided to question on notice No. 2490, which I asked on 14 September 2006.

I am advised by Minister Abbott’s office that the question raises complex issues around a tendering process, that the department is giving the question very active and detailed consideration and that a response will be forthcoming as soon as possible.
