Note Ward 10A at Royal Perth Hospital is the Oncology Ward, Cancer, and Neurosciences Division. The following answers refer to the HIV/AIDS (Immunodeficiency Unit) which is also located on the 10

(1) The Government did not have an election promise that Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) will be retained in its entirety. There are however no plans to move the Immunodeficiency Unit, located at RPH to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (SCGH).
(2) The range of clinical services to be provided as part of the redevelopment of RPH is still to be determined.
(3) The State Government acknowledges the important contribution that the Immunodeficiency Unit makes to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, and will be discussing the future provision of this important service as part of the redevelopment of RPH with the Unit's clinicians.
(4 - 5) As indicated in the response to Q(1) - these are hypothetical questions because there are no current plans to relocate the Immunodeficiency Unit to SCGH.
