HEALTH —
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT
395. Ms M. BEARD to the Minister for Health:
I refer to the Minister for Health's
statement on 8 May 2024 that regional health infrastructure remains a high
priority for this government, seemingly in conflict with the fact that $25.5 million
of the $32.8 million does not appear in the budget until the 2027–28
financial year for the Tom Price Hospital redevelopment.
(1) Can the minister outline exactly how the small
amount of $77 000 in the 2024–25 financial year will be used?
(2) Will funding required for the
Tom Price Hospital be brought forward to the 2024–25 financial year?
(3) If the total
estimated project costs increase, will funding be provided, as has been done
with other regional health infrastructure projects?

(1)–(3) Funding
will be finalised as the tender is finalised—I forgot the last part of
the member's question—and will
be brought forward. This government has funded cost increases in all our health
infrastructure facilities , and Tom Price Hospital will be no different.
