Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the DIAC website page for the Yongah Hill detention centre, which states:

The department and IHMS will work with the local hospital, ambulance service and state government to ensure that the department's operations do not affect access to health services for the local community.

Given that this centre will soon open, can the minister please advise what work and consultation has been undertaken by the government with the local hospital and ambulance service at Northam to 'ensure the department's operations do not affect access to health services for the local community'?
