I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) COVID-19 has presented many challenges for
governments across the world, and WA has not been immune . Increased
demand for labour and building materials has meant that aspects of the project
have been impacted. Practical completion is
scheduled for late in the third quarter of 2022, with the radiation oncology service planned to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2022.
