— REGIONS — BED CAPACITY
1216. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I refer to today's
announcement of funding to help WA prepare for a safe transition to living with
COVID-19.
(1) How many of
the 40 new intensive care unit beds are located in regional Western Australia?
(2) How many of the 120 modular
beds are located in regional WA?
(3) How many of the remaining 110
beds are located in regional WA?
(4) For those beds referred to in
(1) to (3), please provide a breakdown by hospital and ward.
Hon
MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:
On behalf of the minister
representing the Minister for Health, I thank the member for some notice of the
question. I provide the following answer based on information provided to me by
the Minister for Health.
(1)–(4) The McGowan government has invested a further
$1.28 billion into the health and mental health system in the 2021–22
midyear review. Combined with the $1.9 billion investment in the budget, this
has delivered a record $3.2 billion boost to Western Australia's health
system. This additional funding includes an additional 270 hospital beds and
associated staff.
The remaining information is in
tabular form and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.
