AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health, I provide the following reply - (1) Yes. (2)-(3) The recent establishment of the cancer and palliative care network will support cancer services for public and private patients across the state, including promoting quality research in cancer and its treatment and its early application to cancer care where appropriate. The state government has committed $6 million over four years to ensure that essential cancer research is undertaken. This is part of an overall $26 million commitment over a four-year period by the state government to significantly improve a wide range of cancer services. Additional funding will be provided for the establishment of two comprehensive cancer centres at Sir Charles Gairdner and Fiona Stanley Hospitals. Construction of phase 1 of the cancer centre at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, which is the expansion of the radiotherapy department, has now been completed, and two additional linear accelerators will be operational in the first week of July 2006. A replacement machine will be ready around September 2006. The estimated cost to complete stage 1 of the cancer centre is $12.27 million.
