AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I note that the honourable member has referred to the Broometime Lodge being purchased to accommodate patients and their families. The accommodation has been purchased with a view to accommodating patients receiving dialysis treatment, not families. (1) $825 000. (2) Additional costs of around $95 000 are anticipated to bring the facility into operation, including a kitchen upgrade and the conversion of two rooms for disability access. (3) Kim Tapper, Elizabeth M. Tapper, Ian M. Tapper and Linley J. Tapper. (4)-(5) The vacant land adjoining the Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service was not available for an accommodation project. In any case, the cost to construct a new residential facility would have been excessive - estimated at about $2 million.
