(a – b)
Significant medical equipment requires extensive forward planning to ensure appropriate fit-out and commissioning. Health Service Providers are responsible for undertaking the necessary planning and developing business cases to support procurement. A business case for the upgrade of cardiac catheterisation laboratory equipment at Fiona Stanley Hospital is currently in progress. There have been no diagnostic delays, and reporting remains accurate.
(c)
One procedure was affected but was moved to the alternative adjacent lab and completed within the hour.
