Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — VEGA DREAM

1069. Hon CHARLES SMITH to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the iron ore carrier Vega Dream—or should I say nightmare—which has COVID-19-positive crew onboard and has had one crew member evacuated to Perth.

(1) Who is paying for this man's flight and medical treatment?

(2) Who is paying for this man to be kept in a State Health Incident Coordination Centre hotel?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

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

(1) The WA Country Health Service and the Royal Flying Doctor Service will be seeking recompense of medical treatment and flight costs from the shipping agent.

(2) WA Health.
