Dear Mr President

On 17 August 2017, the Senate referred the Availability and accessibility of diagnostic imaging equipment around Australia to the Senate Community Affairs References Committee (Committee) for inquiry and report. Submissions were sought by 6 October 2017 and the committee was due to report on 5 December 2017.

On 16 November 2017, the Senate granted an extension of time for reporting until 7 March 2018.

The Committee has received 45 submissions and held two public hearings, one in Perth on 9 November 2017 and one in Brisbane on 13 December 2017.

The Committee intends to seek an extension to the reporting date to 9 March 2018 to enable it to conclude its deliberations.

Yours sincerely,
