I refer to planning undertaken by the government for the new
children's hospital.
(1) Were population projections for Western Australia part of
the planning; and, if so ‑
(a) what was WA's
population of zero to 18-year-olds in 2003, 2008 and 2012; and
(b) what is the estimated
population of zero to 18-year-olds for each of the next 10 years?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Are
patients over 18 years old treated at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children;
and, if so, how many were treated in each of 2003, 2008 and 2012?
(4) If yes to
(3), was this group part of the population projections; and, if so, what are
the estimated numbers of over-18s to be treated at the new children's
hospital for each of the next 10 years?
