GERALDTON HOSPITAL
1237. Hon DARREN WEST to the Attorney General
representing the Treasurer:
I refer to the recent announcement
made by the Minister for Racing and Gaming about funding to expand Geraldton
Hospital.
(1) Is the
Treasurer aware of this funding commitment and the details of what it will
include; and, if yes, how was the Treasurer made aware?
(2) Did the
Treasurer or his department approve this commitment prior to the announcement
being made?
(3) Can the
Treasurer confirm that funding is available for this commitment in the 2016–17
financial year and/or forward estimates?
(4) When will funds for this project
be released?

AnswerView source ↗

On behalf of the Treasurer, I thank
the honourable member for some notice of the question.
This question refers to the Western Australia
National Party 2017 election commitment and should be directed to the Leader of
the National Party.
