I refer to the Western Australia Health Clinical Services Framework 2010-2020 which states that by 2014-15 Bunbury Regional Hospital should have 115 multi-day beds and the country beds data on the Department of Health Website, which states that as at February 2011, the Bunbury Regional Hospital has 90 multi-day beds only, and ask -
(1) What action is being taken to ensure the additional 25 multi-day beds are available at Bunbury Regional Hospital by 2014-15?
(2) Will the Minister guarantee that the additional 25 multi-day beds will be available by 2014-15?
(3) What are restorative beds?
(4) Are restorative beds included in the multi-day bed count?
