ALBANY HEALTH CAMPUS —
BED CAPACITY
814. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. I ask
the question again: why did the minister not specify any additional beds for
Albany Health Campus in the state budget?

AnswerView source ↗

As the member knows, we are
increasing the number of beds right across the state, over 330 in the lead-up
to the budget and another 276 in the budget.
The context of the member for Vasse's question is that no hospital beds
were available in the great southern, and the fact of the matter is that
she is wrong.
