QuestionView source ↗

I refer to page 10 of the Feasibility Study of the Relocation of Woodside Maternity Hospital Services to Kaleeya Hospital -
(1) Would the Minister provide a breakdown of the savings of 90 percent on 'cleaning and supplies' which were $ 47 944 a year at Woodside Hospital but drop to $ 4 794 at Kaleeya Hospital?
(2) Was this estimate provided by Health Project Directors Australia and Health Projects International?
(3) If not, who provided this estimate?
(4) Was this estimate checked by Project Directors Australia and Health Projects International?
(5) If not, who checked this estimate?
(6) What is the most recent estimate of the annual saving on 'cleaning and supplies' resulting from the move to Kaleeya?
(7) How many extra toilets and shower will there be to clean in the obstetrics section of Kaleeya Hospital compared to Woodside Hospital?
(8) Was this extra work taken into account when the costs were reduced to nothing?
