Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 475 asked in the Legislative Council on 19 May 2022 by Hon Dr Steve Thomas

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

ALBANY HEALTH CAMPUS — RADIATION ONCOLOGY SERVICE

475. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health:

I forgot which chamber I was in for a minute.

I refer to my question on notice 2860 answered on 13 May 2020 in which the then Minister for Health advised that the construction of the Albany radiation oncology unit would be ''complete by June 2022, allowing an August 2022 operational commencement''.

(1) Will the construction of the unit be complete by June 2022, as promised?

(2) If no to (1), when will it be complete?

(3) Will an operations commencement meet the August 2022 promise?

(4) If no to (3), when will this unit be operational?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(4) COVID-19 has presented many challenges for governments across the world, and WA has not been immune. Increased demand for labour and building materials has meant that aspects of the project have been impacted. Practical completion is scheduled for late in the third quarter of 2022, with the radiation oncology service planned to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2022.
