I
do not have the exact date in front of me for the medi-hotel near Fiona Stanley
Hospital, but it will be up and running next year. As I said, we have
expanded the number of hospital beds at Joondalup Health Campus and expanded the footprint of the hospital. In discussions with
the local community and the local provider, we found that that was what
they wanted.
Ms L. Mettam : They didn't
want a medi-hotel?
Ms A. SANDERSON : We had
discussions with the provider on the ground and that is what they wanted. We
have actually made an even bigger investment in Joondalup Health Campus than a medi-hotel
by expanding the bed base and providing 102 mental health beds. That is more
than the previous government built in the entirety of its term, and just in the
northern suburbs!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, member
for Vasse!
Ms A. SANDERSON : We are
significantly expanding the footprint and delivery of health services in the
northern suburbs. We are very proud to stand on our record up there.
