PERTH
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL — CAPACITY
635. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the report considered by the government advising
on the options for additional capacity at the new children's hospital.
(1) Will the
report that details the estimated patient numbers and planning for the children's
hospital be made public; and, if not, why not?
(2) Who
advised the government on costs for additional capacity and what were those
estimated costs?
(3) Did those
costs include the additional expense in the future of building on the hospital
when it is at capacity?

submission and so are also protected by cabinet confidentiality.
