(5) If no to (4), why not?
(6) Can the Minister indicate how many checks throughout the year are made of all televisions sets on the wards to see if they are working correctly?
(7) If no to (6), why not?

(1) Paediatric Ward - 16 televisions in total, 2 not functional.

(2) Not applicable.
(3) Kalgoorlie Hospital recognises the need for repair of the television system. A partial upgrade is considered potentially inefficient given application to the Regional Development Commission for co-funding a comprehensive replacement of the system. The outcome of this application is expected in May 2011.
(4) Yes.
(5) Not applicable.
(6 - 7) Routine checks are no longer being made of television equipment as the Hospital intends to fully replace the system once funding is secured.
