We implemented the $42 million State
Health Operations Centre, which is a resilience centre for our operations.
Unfortunately, these events occur from time to time across every sector, not
just the healthcare sector. There are very well documented procedures that are
well practised by staff and clinicians. I thank them very sincerely. They
worked through the night, as did the State Health Incident Coordination Centre,
which was stood up immediately. That centre is for state incident responses.
The staff worked through the night to restore power, and power was restored to
all sites by 10 this morning.
