PERTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL — CAR
PARKING
559. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for
Health:
I refer to the half a million
dollars per month being paid to Wilson Parking at Perth Children's
Hospital.
(1) Is this money being paid from
the Department of Health budget?
(2) Has the minister asked Treasury
for extra funding to cover the contract?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(2)
No, there has not been any submission to the Treasurer for additional funding
at this stage, whether it is coming out of the health budget or from —
Several
members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Victoria Park, I have called you twice. If you carry on, you will be
having a rest, okay?
Mr J.H.D. DAY : I expect
that the funds are coming out of the project budget for the Perth Children's
Hospital redevelopment; it is a $1.2 billion redevelopment. As I said yesterday
in relation to the issue of parking, the problem would not have happened under Labor
because Labor would never have built this hospital.
