I am advised:
(1) (a)-(c) Details provided refer to building alterations and upgrade works. Maintenance related costs are not captured within the capital entities as they form part of the day-to-day operational costs of the hospital. Please see tabled paper no.
(2) (a) – (d) For WA Country Health Service (WACHS), Repairs and Maintenance Budgets are provided for individual sites for 2019-20 but are not allocated to specific maintenance sub-categories. Budgets and maintenance plans for 2020-21 and beyond have not yet been determined and therefore WACHS is unable to provide these figures.
