(1)-(2) The Minister notes the Leader of the Opposition's newfound interest in business cases.
Unlike the former Barnett Government, all projects listed (a) – (h) under a McGowan Government currently have or will have a business case developed which will be submitted to cabinet as part of the normal Budget process.
Business cases are internal working documents and are not written for public release.
(3) All information regarding Health’s Asset Investment program can be located in the Western Australia State Budget 2018-19 Budget Paper No.2 Volume 1
The McGowan Government is continuing to work through plans to progress key hospital initiatives which will be outlined for the member in subsequent State Budgets.
