(2) 5, 1 and 3 respectively. (3) The cost is embedded in the overall price for telecommunication services. However, based on similar work at Fremantle Hospital, $200 per data point would be a reasonable estimate. (4) Approximately 5 data points were removed from the former allied health office, which is now a delivery room. Removal costs are embedded in demolition and telecommunications prices. The total cost of re-wiring and re-siting these points was in the order of $1,000.
