A further 550 beds are in the pipeline, which is on top of the additional beds being added as part of the new Women and Babies Hospital", and I ask: (a) Were the 80 beds at the Murdoch Medihotel classified as part of the "700 beds have been added across the system" figure; (b) Were the 80 beds at the Murdoch Medihotel classified as part of the "further 550 beds are in the pipeline"; and (c) Are the beds at the Murdoch Medihotel classified as part of the "additional beds being added as part of the new Women and Babies Hospital"?
