Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 330 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 19 May 2022 by Ms L. Mettam

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

HOSPITALS — BED CAPACITY

330. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:

I have a supplementary question. Premier, this is a ''yes or no'' question. Does the Premier have the highest costing health system with the lowest number of beds per capita and —

The SPEAKER: No ''and''. That is it.

Mr D.J. Kelly: You're the worst opposition per capita!

The SPEAKER: Members, order! I would like to hear from the Premier.

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

That was actually quite a good interjection. I hope it was recorded.

As I said to the member before, the health system is extensive across the second biggest jurisdiction in the world. It provides services and beds all over the state. Obviously, a considerable expense is attached to that, but we invest the most per capita of any state in Australia and we are very proud of that.
