MARGARET
RIVER HOSPITAL
118. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Health:
I refer to Margaret River Hospital.
(1) Given the WA
Country Health Service has identified the redevelopment of Margaret River
Hospital as a priority, has detailed planning and costing been undertaken?
(2) If yes, what is the time line
for redevelopment?
(3) If no, what is the time frame
for this redevelopment project?
(4) What funds are being committed
to this expansion?
(5) When will the
outstanding upgrades be carried out under the constant delay of the
redevelopment of this priority project?
(6) Why is the redevelopment of the emergency
department not part of the project given the age of this hospital and
growth in population in the south west?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. Initial estimates to inform
a business case have been developed.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Commencement is subject to the
business case and budget process.
(4) Nil.
(5) Commencement is subject to a range
of factors and is impacted by current market conditions.

of the emergency department has been included in the planning for this project.
