Health—Funding
298. Ms Sandra Brewer to
the Minister for Health:
I have a
supplementary question. Given the previous health minister could not secure the
necessary funding for health from the Treasurer, what steps is the current
minister taking to ensure adequate funding to address the hospital crisis?

AnswerView source ↗

I am glad the member
asked a supplementary question because I forgot to mention our $1.8 billion
investment in the new women's and babies' hospital. It is a very exciting
project and one that is going to revolutionise health care for women in this
state. We are delivering record amounts of investment into our health system—in
hospital infrastructure, but also in services delivered
in the community where people want to access them. We are looking at a range of
ways to ensure that Western Australians get access to the care that they need. Although
hospitals are important, they are not the only thing. That is why our
government will continue to look at everything that we can do to ensure that
Western Australians get access to the care they need no matter where they live
in the state.
