representing the Minister for Health, I thank the member for some notice of the
question. I provide the following answer based on information provided to me by
the Minister for Health.
(1)–(4) The McGowan government has invested a further
$1.28 billion into the health and mental health system in the 2021–22
midyear review. Combined with the $1.9 billion investment in the budget, this

system. This additional funding includes an additional 270 hospital beds and
associated staff.
