I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. The Kimberley health region is centralising supply in the east Kimberley to achieve savings and minimise stock handling. Kununurra will become the principal supply point. This is part of the region’s commitment to a single supply line and cost centre. It will be completed within the month. (2) There are no designated palliative care beds at Wyndham District Hospital. However, work has begun on a new purpose-built aged care facility in Kununurra. The new facility will meet commonwealth aged care standards and will provide a better residential environment for both Wyndham and Kununurra aged care residents. The project will be completed in the next six to nine months.
