MURDOCH MEDIHOTEL
600. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. I thank
the minister for his answer. Why is the WA Labor government unable to deliver
the Murdoch medihotel project on time and on budget, and where is the funding
and what are the delivery dates for the remaining medihotels that the Labor Party
promised during the last election campaign, including the Joondalup medihotel
that the government has failed to build?
The SPEAKER : That question
had a preamble, member, but I will allow it.

For the first eight months I was a bit
busy trying to open the hospital the former government could not open. Maybe we
should overlook the first few months as my time as the Minister for Health when
I tried to unravel the wreckage that was the mismanagement of the Perth
Children's Hospital development by the previous government. The
medihotel will come on stream soon and will be an outstanding hospital. It is
part of Labor's vision to put patients first in Western Australia and I
very much look forward to continuing to work with all our partners in health to
improve health services in Western Australia.
