FIONA STANLEY HOSPITAL — COMPLETION DATE
373. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Does the minister expect us
to believe that an asset to the value of over $1.2 billion was in danger of standing
idle from April 2014, and the minister's department had serious
concerns about that particular contract and about a senior contractor that was
going to influence the delays on the hospital, yet the minister was at no point
informed of the likely risk to the hospital opening?

That is an enormous supplementary question. The concept of it
is something I have already answered; that is, the strong view of the director
general of Health, leading up to and during the election, was that we could
still meet that date. Why would I think he was wrong?
