Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 621 asked in the Legislative Council on 2 September 2021 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

HEALTH — 2021–22 STATE BUDGET

621. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the media statement of 8 August this year entitled ''$1.9 billion boost for health and mental health in State Budget''.

(1) How much of that $1.9 billion was previously budgeted for? For example, $256 million was previously budgeted for Joondalup Health Campus.

(2) How much of the $1.9 billion comprises commonwealth funding and what projects are they linked to? For example, $158 million in commonwealth funding has been allocated to the Joondalup Health Campus.

(3) How much of the $1.9 billion is new money and how will that amount be spent across the forward estimates?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I answer on behalf of the Minister for Mental Health.

(1)–(3) None of the $1.9 billion is commonwealth funding. Further details will be outlined in the 2021–22 state budget when it is released on 9 September.
