I thank the
honourable member also for some notice of the question. The following answer
has been provided by the Minister for Health.
(1)–(2) The Department of Health assesses and
plans for the needs of WA's growing population. To support Perth's northern
corridor, the Cook Labor government has invested over $8 million in the Yanchep
ECU Health Hub and recently announced an additional 60 beds at Joondalup Health
Campus. We are committed to a long-term plan that grows as Yanchep grows,
ensuring Western Australians can access the care we need when we need it.
