(1) What aspects of Woodside Hospital do not meet Australian National Standards?
(2) If Woodside Hospital does not meet Australian National Standards, then why wasn't this work done when the roof over the labour wards and theatre was replaced, and the air-conditioning installed, and the operating theatre renovated in late 2000 and early 2001, when the hospital was vacant during these renovations?
