QuestionView source ↗
(1) As announced, the Woodside obstetrics facility is moving to Kaleeya Hospital on the third of April and will again be moving in five years to the Fiona Stanley Hospital at Murdoch. Why didn't Project Directors Australia and Health Projects International include in the Feasibility Study the cost of reconverting in five years, the proposed birthing suites and other maternity facilities at Kaleeya Hospital, back to the 35 to 45 surgical ward beds that were used during the 5 years?
(2) Would a competent full business case study require an assessment of such a major cost to be incorporated in the estimates of expenses and savings in closing Woodside Hospital five years early to determine the real costs or savings?
(3) If not, why not?
(4) What is the current estimated cost of rehabilitating the maternity ward and other maternity facilities at Kaleeya Hospital, when they are not required in five years when the obstetric facility is moved to Fiona Stanley Hospital?
