KALAMUNDA DISTRICT COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, REDUCTION OF OBSTETRIC SERVICES
I ask a supplementary question. Has any consideration been given to either ceasing or reducing the provision of obstetric services at the Kalamunda District Community Hospital and will the minister guarantee that there will be no reduction in obstetric services at that hospital? Mr KUCERA

AnswerView source ↗

I suggest that it is a different question but I have already stated that I am not aware of any specific plans that may result in a reduction of services at Kalamunda hospital. However, I remind the member for Darling Range that I stated in the House yesterday that we are moving towards a reform process in this State that will look at health authorities in all areas and Kalamunda will be part of that. Mr Day: Can you guarantee that there will be no reduction? Mr KUCERA: I have already stated and I will repeat it again that I am not aware of any specific plans that may result in a reduction of services at Kalamunda hospital.
