WOMEN'S AND BABIES' HOSPITAL
1132. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister guarantee
the house that the same world-class services as exist now at King Edward
Memorial Hospital for Women will be delivered on a single site, and will he
provide an outline to the house of when a final decision will be made about the
options being considered by the government, and when construction will
commence?

We will certainly be talking about the success of the McGowan
government in making sure that we continue to invest wisely in our hospital
infrastructure and health services. I guarantee that the future of the Western Australia
health system is bright. We are continuing to make the investments and look
over the horizon at the needs of the hospital system to ensure that we have the
needed infrastructure, workforce and investment in research and innovation to
make sure we have a modern health system for all Western Australians.
I am looking forward to
getting on with the job of starting to bring alive the vision for the new women's
and babies' hospital—it will be an outstanding
achievement, sitting alongside the award-winning Perth Children's
Hospital— and continuing to upgrade
the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre campus, so that we continue to provide
outstanding health services into the future.
The SPEAKER : Thank you, members. That is the end of
question time.
