Women's and babies' hospital
122. Hon Peter Collier to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health Infrastructure:
I refer to the Cook
Labor government's decision to construct and co-locate the new women's and
babies' hospital at the Fiona Stanley Hospital site and the subsequent signing
of a letter of intent to progress negotiations for a managing contract.
(1) Was the decision to move to the next stage of
negotiations with joint venture partners Roberts Co and Webuild at the FSH site
supported by:
(a) a full scope of works and designs;
(b) a detailed business case; and
(c) a project definition plan for the FSH?
(2) If no to (1)(a), (b) or (c), on what basis can
the government justify the associated construction costs and decision to build
at the new site?
(3) If yes to (1)(a), (b) or (c), will the
government table the business case and project definition plan for the FSH site
and, if not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the Leader
of the Opposition for some notice of the question. I provide this answer on
behalf of the Minister for Health Infrastructure.
(1)–(3) Negotiations
are part of a live procurement process. Appropriate due diligence is always undertaken
and updates on the progress of the hospital will be made in due course.
