MEDIHOTELS
955. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Minister for Health:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the minister outline to the house when the
Joondalup and Royal Perth Hospital medihotels will be completed, or are
they yet another example of the government's hollow promises to the
people of Western Australia that it has no intention of delivering in this term
of government?

As the member well knows, we are hot
on the heels of the issues with the Joondalup hospital redevelopment. With the members
for Joondalup, Kingsley, Girrawheen and Burns Beach, and other members from our
northern suburbs, I look forward to announcing the ways forward for Joondalup
hospital. They will be good days. The only people who do not want the Joondalup
hospital redeveloped are those opposite. They are the only people who would not
come up with a promise at the last election about how to move forward. They are
the only people who want the people of Joondalup and the northern suburbs to
continue to languish with an under-resourced health system. We continue to
develop the health system in the northern suburbs. Thank goodness for a McGowan
Labor government! We will make more announcements about rolling out medihotels
and our other really important election commitments in the coming months.
