(1)–(2)
Under the Labor Party–initiated Reid review, Kaleeya Hospital was
scheduled to close on the opening of Fiona Stanley Hospital. That position has
not changed and I am not aware of any negotiations being undertaken at this
time. I assume that when Fiona Stanley Hospital opens that that is likely to
occur, although the government has not yet made that decision and will look at
what other options are available for not only maximising the best use of that
hospital, but also the configuration of hospitals in that region.
