FIONA STANLEY HOSPITAL — PHASE 2A
933. Mr J. NORBERGER to the
Minister for Health:
I was pleased to learn that the second phase of the opening
of Fiona Stanley Hospital occurred yesterday. Can the minister update the house
on what additional services are now being provided?

AnswerView source ↗

Given my last answer was long, I will give a very quick
answer this time.
The second phase has gone very well. Phase 2A has started,
which is medical–surgical services. Four patients from Kaleeya Hospital
moved into the hospital between 9.00 am and 11.15 am—so it was very
quick and very smooth. The first surgical procedures of patients booked for
waitlist surgery took place today. In December, maternity and neonatal services
will move out of Kaleeya to Fiona Stanley Hospital. I am very pleased to say
that everything is going very smoothly. All our pathways are currently on track
and there have been no major hurdles. There is no reason that we should not be
able to proceed with the rest of our opening phases with the same success we
have had so far.
