QuestionView source ↗
I refer to page 10 of the Feasibility Study of the Relocation of Woodside Maternity Hospital services to Kaleeya Hospital -
(1) Was this estimate of additional laundry at Kaleeya Hospital ($ 0) provided by Health Project Directors Australia and Health Projects International?
(2) If not, who provided this estimate?
(3) Was this estimate of nil extra laundry costs at Kaleeya Hospital checked by Health Project Directors Australia and Health Projects International?
(4) If not, who checked this estimate?
(5) What specific measures were planned to reduce the laundry expenses from $ 104 763 a year at Woodside Hospital to no cost at all at Kaleeya Hospital a year?
(6) How was this to be done, as the plan was to demolish the laundry at that stage, to build two birthing suites?
(7) What is the new estimated annual cost of obstetrics or maternity section laundry?
(8) What is the most recent estimate of the annual saving on laundry expenses?
