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.
