GERALDTON HEALTH CAMPUS —
REDEVELOPMENT
941. Hon
COLIN de GRUSSA to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister
for Health:
I refer to the state government's
planned redevelopment of the Geraldton Health Campus.
(1) Has the state
government had any communications or consultation with emergency services
organisations in Geraldton and the midwest about the redevelopment of the
Geraldton Health Campus; and, if so, will the minister please table this
correspondence?
(2) Given the
local emergency service organisations' desire for an emergency rescue
helicopter to be based out of Geraldton, will the state government include a heliport
as part of the Geraldton Health Campus redevelopment to ensure safe and
efficient patient transfers?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I have been advised as follows.
(1) WA Country Health Service Midwest has formally
invited the WA Police Force, the Department of Fire and Emergency
Services, St John Ambulance and the Royal Flying Doctor Service through the
Geraldton Health Campus redevelopment stakeholder reference group. It is
expected that engagement will increase during the design development phase.
(2) There is no helipad currently included in
planning for stage 1 of the Geraldton Health Campus redevelopment.
I table the
attached correspondence in relation to part (1).
