AnswerView source ↗
Mr Speaker - Mr J.H.D. Day: A good Liberal Government initiative, that one. Mr J.A. McGINTY: I thank the member. Construction will begin soon on the redevelopment of Geraldton Regional Hospital. The project will provide a state-of-the-art facility and major health resource centre for the entire mid west region, as well as Geraldton. It will house the major components of regional health services, including mental health, primary health, population health, rehabilitation and aged care services, as well as acute hospital services. There has been extensive service planning and community and staff consultation to ensure that the new hospital and related health facilities serve not only current, but also future needs of the area. Complementing traditional hospital services, a range of other health services provided by the facility will include an integrated mental health service; a day hospital for the rehabilitation of mainly elderly people able to live in their own homes; a six-bed restorative ward for the rehabilitation of older people who need inpatient care for short periods; new facilities for home and community care services, including a day centre for the elderly; and refurbishment of accommodation for population health services. The population in the Geraldton area and nearby towns is increasing at about 1.5 per cent a year. There is no doubt that this facility is critical for the people of that region. However, there is a problem. Although $40 million was committed to the facility in this year’s capital works program, conditions in the building and construction industry meant that tenders for the construction closed about 30 per cent higher than expected. The Department of Housing and Works is negotiating with the preferred builder, Broad Construction Services Pty Ltd, to identify ways to reduce the construction costs. This commitment to the long overdue redevelopment of Geraldton hospital, along with the higher construction costs, has meant that a decision had to be made to remove the Moora District Hospital replacement project from the capital works program. This decision has not been made lightly. Each project was assessed against the operational priorities of all budgeted projects on the program and the Moora hospital replacement ranked the lowest in strategic and essential operational needs. Understandably, this will be a disappointment for the Moora community. Confronting the Geraldton hospital cost blow-out and the decision to prioritise the region’s needs over the local ones has been extremely tough. However, I am assured by the Department of Health that health services provided in Moora will continue at a high level. As a result of the reduction in inpatient and outpatient activity, Moora hospital can meet current needs and an increase in demand in the future. Although it is unfortunate that tough decisions must be made, I am confident that the overall population of the mid west will benefit significantly from the development of the Geraldton health service. In total, the estimated budget for the Geraldton hospital redevelopment will now be $49 million, a substantial investment in providing better health services to the people of the mid west. The hospital has been promised to the people of Geraldton for a long time. This Government is now delivering, and I look forward to seeing work begin in the near future.
