I thank the member for the question, and I very much enjoyed
being up there with her and the member for Eyre in officially opening stage 3
of the new facilities at Kalgoorlie Hospital. Remember, these were the ones
promised by the Labor Party but once again not delivered—one of the
numerous hospital promises that it made and did not come good on. We made that
commitment from opposition. We got in there straightaway to fix it up—in
the same way as we did for the member for Albany with Albany Hospital and as we
did with the Busselton Hospital, the Perth Children's Hospital and so
on.
This was a $59.6 million project all-up, done in three
phases. As I have said, $15.8 million of that came through royalties for
regions and $3.8 million from the commonwealth to top-up to provide the full
package. The services that have been provided are extremely high quality, and
they include things such as a new cancer centre, out-patient clinics,
specialists' rooms, allied health, medical records and acute service
management. Stage 2 included a high-dependency unit and new emergency
department. This provides high-quality health care in the regions, as this
government has shown it is capable of doing ever since it has been in
government.
