Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 15 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 May 2017 by Hon Rick Mazza

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


LAKE GRACE HOSPITAL — RESIDENTIAL AGED-CARE BEDS
      15. Hon RICK MAZZA to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I understand that an expansion zone for potential future residential aged-care beds has been identified as part of the master planning approach for Lake Grace Hospital. Can the parliamentary secretary advise whether a time frame has been determined for these facilities; and, if so, what is it?
Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:
I thank the member for some notice of the question.
I am informed that the site plan for Lake Grace does include an identified future expansion zone for residential aged care. There are no current plans to expand Lake Grace Hospital to include aged-care beds. Any future expansion would be based on identified service need. The current Southern Inland Health Initiative project scope does not include any increase in residential aged-care beds at Lake Grace.
