JOONDALUP HEALTH CAMPUS — PERTH
POPULATION GROWTH
69. Mr A.P. O'GORMAN to the Minister for
Health:
I have a supplementary question. Why
does the minister continue to refuse the people of the Wanneroo–Joondalup
area the tertiary hospital services they so much deserve?

AnswerView source ↗

I have already made the point that
they get every tertiary hospital service that we would expect to be provided
for a hospital in that region with a population of that size. It is a fantastic
service that they get in that region. My understanding is that the people of
Western Australia are very proud. There will be a requirement to expand
Joondalup in the future as that population grows, and we have in place the
government that has the ability to plan and deliver, unlike the former
government comprising members on the other side.
