MULLEWA HOSPITAL — REDEVELOPMENT
827. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Noting that it has been six years since the redevelopment of the hospital was
first announced, can the Premier guarantee to the people of Mullewa that the
redevelopment will take place and give some indication of when?

As I said to the member, and I will
repeat it, the WA government remains committed to the redevelopment of the
Mullewa health centre. The money is in the budget, but, like everything else,
it is subject to cost and development pressures.
Projects all over the state, around Australia and, I think, all over the
western world, are going through this . There are extraordinary levels of
activity and extraordinary constraints on supply, particularly on materials and
labour. That is the reality. No-one can magic that away. We cannot blink our eyes
like in I Dream of Jeannie and make it disappear. We cannot do that. The
fact is that we have to space out our developments, do what we can as quickly as we can and make sure that we do it
properly. There are cost pressures on everything, and certainly not only this sector, but also every other sector is facing supply chain difficulties.
