(1) Yes. (Level 4 at 2015).
(2) Yes. (2020 report does not propose cardiothoracic surgical services be delivered at Joondalup Health Campus).
Cardiothoracic services is no longer proposed to be delivered at JHC because given the projected level of demand for these services, there are only sufficient numbers to maintain safe and quality delivery at the three facilities, FSH, SCGH and RPH.
A level 4 cardiothoracic service at JHC would only be able to be maintained as a visiting service from surgeons at SCGH. The projected volume at SCGH is insufficient to be able to split the service between 2 sites.
