It is intended in line with the Government commitment to replace the existing 5-chair renal dialysis unit with a new 10-chair facility. The option to provide extra plumbing for a further 2 chairs is also being considered. Dialysis machines in Satellite Units cost between $15 000 to $32 000 each not including the costs of installation and Reverse Osmosis machine(s).

(a)-(c) The Department of Housing and Works is commissioning an architect to prepare contract documents for the Peel redevelopment project. The $1M cashflowed for 2001/02 is an initial estimate of the cost to progress this work within the financial year but is not specifically tied to the purchase of Dialysis Machines, although the Renal Dialysis extension is a component of the overall project.
