honouring his—
Ms M.M. Quirk: There is no
Kingsway!

commitment to Joondalup Health Campus?

We have over $160 million in the
budget. I think it was in 2018 that I opened the new mental health observation
area, the emergency department and the new 12-bed stroke unit at Joondalup
Health Campus.
Ms S.E. Winton interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Wanneroo!
Mr R.H. COOK : We had been
campaigning for that for many years. Of course, the campus had no chance of
getting that under the previous government. The McGowan Labor government is
investing in that hospital and we are putting patients in the northern suburbs
first.
