LAVERTON HOSPITAL — UPGRADE
660. Hon
NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to planned works and
construction start times for the new Laverton Hospital in the northern
goldfields.
(1) Can the minister confirm whether design and plans
of the new Laverton Hospital in the northern goldfields have been
finalised?
(2) If the design phase has been completed, has the
tender document been advertised for the project to be tendered?
(3) If the design
phase and tender document draft have not been finalised, can the minister
please update the house as to what stage this long-awaited project is at, and
an expected time frame, commencement date and completion date?
The PRESIDENT: My apologies,
honourable member. I think I called you the wrong family name; I know your name
is Thomson! I am not sure why the other one came out.
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
