I am saying that we are already
doing the business case for the emergency department, and that is well and
truly running. That is already committed to. That will happen regardless of
where the women's and babies' hospital will be located. We will absolutely consider those
upgrades. They need upgrading. There is a whole range of infrastructure that needs upgrading, and we will work with Charlies and the North Metropolitan
Health Service around how we can fund that and when we can get it into the
pipeline of works.
