JOONDALUP HEALTH CAMPUS
EXPANSION
1102. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Premier:
At the end of the third year of the
do-nothing Labor government, how far from completion is the government's
Joondalup Health Campus expansion election promise, and how many jobs have been
created by this project?

AnswerView source ↗

On coming to office, we made a commitment
to expand Joondalup Health Campus, and I expect that important announcements
will be made about that in the coming weeks and months. The member might be
very impressed about what will be occurring there. I know that the Minister for
Health has opened a new stroke unit at Joondalup hospital, which is much
appreciated in particular by family members of people who have suffered from
strokes. We made that commitment, essentially, because the Minister for Health
and I met some of the stroke victims of the northern suburbs, who did not have
a centre in the far north. Obviously, that was an important commitment we made,
and we delivered it. We have secured significant federal funding for the
Joondalup hospital expansion, and additional announcements will be made on that
in coming weeks.
