Is the member talking about a medihotel
as in what we believe is a medihotel —
Ms L. Mettam : Your election
commitment.
Mr R.H. COOK : —or is
the member talking about a COVID-response medihotel?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr R.H. COOK : As the Premier
pointed out in his last response to a supplementary, it is important that the supplementary actually builds on the information
that needs to be provided rather than repeats it, so let me repeat it :
we have already opened the medihotel at Royal Perth Hospital and it is
performing a great service. We are constructing the other medihotel at Fiona
Stanley Hospital. That construction is taking place at the moment. We are
awaiting further updates in terms of when it will be ready, but it will be a 60-bed
facility. It will be an exciting, new, integrated development at Fiona Stanley
Hospital. That is the sort of vision that the McGowan Labor government brings
to health services.
