ST JOHN OF GOD MIDLAND
PUBLIC HOSPITAL — BUDGET
190. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I
refer to the answer given to question without notice 133 provided on 27 May
2021, and the 23 May 2021 ABC online article titled ''Looming
Midland Hospital funding cut not the fault of WA government, Roger Cook says'',
which included the statement —
Mr Cook said it was an issue for the
hospital's private operator and the Department of Health to resolve.
(1) Given that
the matter was not resolved at the time of the article's publication,
when was St John of God Health Care informed that additional funding would be
provided to ensure that the base hospital budget for 2021–22 would not
be reduced?
(2) What is the
total amount of additional funding that will be provided in the 2021–22
financial year to ensure that the hospital's budget is not reduced?
(3) What is the
total funding that will now be allocated to the hospital for the 2021–22
financial year?
