ALINTAGAS SALE PROCEEDS, HEALTH FUNDING 340. Mr DAY to the Premier: The Premier has an opportunity to display some honesty - Point of Order Dr GALLOP: He cannot do that! The SPEAKER: Member for Darling Range, ask your question. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr DAY: As I asked the Premier earlier, in which areas will the Government spend the $40 million from the proceeds of the AlintaGas sale that the former Government had allocated to women and children’s health, Fremantle Hospital, sub-acute recovery facilities at Rockingham-Kwinana District, Osborne Park and Swan District Hospitals, and rural health facilities? Dr GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
Watch this space, particularly on Thursday. Mr Barnett: You will try to reannounce it. You will repackage and reannounce it. Dr GALLOP: Does the Opposition want to talk about the health system we inherited? We inherited a system with a lack of financial control over the hospitals and no proper, responsible approach to financial management. We inherited run-down hospitals, vis a vis the problems we revealed at King Edward Memorial Hospital and Rockingham-Kwinana District Hospital. The system was rampant and out of control. We will not only bring it under control - Mr Barnett: You have industrial problems all over the place. Dr GALLOP: We have industrial problems because we say no to irresponsible wage demands. Mr Barnett: What about before the election? Dr GALLOP: Would members put that lot in charge of the budget of Western Australia? They were profligate. They had no control over public expenditure and presided over a run-down public health system. Although it will take a long time, we will fix that mess. We have put the money in the budget.
