I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Since the
funding announcement, a functional brief has been developed and approved. A
draft project definition plan and schematic design report have been developed,
and detailed design consultation has been completed.
(2) Tenders are currently
anticipated to be called at the end of November 2019.
(3) The Department of Health has advertised a tender
for MRI machines from which the purchase of an MRI machine for
Kalgoorlie Health Campus will be made.
(4) Health will
comply with relevant policy, procedures and processes, not least during the
design, development and tender process. This
will result in a good outcome for the people of Kalgoorlie and will be
value for money. This process will be worked through as quickly as possible.
