STANLEY HOSPITAL — SERCO CONTRACT
243. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Surely the minister's
department gave him a ballpark figure about the potential exposure to the
taxpayers of Western Australia as a result of this delay. What was that advice?

AnswerView source ↗
The answer is no. As I said, there is no fixed figure because
that figure could vary as low as zero.
Mr R.H. Cook : Did
you ask the question?
Dr K.D. HAMES : Of
course we talked about what the potential contract was. The answer given to me
is exactly the answer I have given the member. We will sit down and negotiate
the figures. When we have done that, we will let the Deputy Leader of the
Opposition and the public know.
