I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Staff who park at the QEII Medical Centre pay for parking, but existing permit holders who are displaced to off-site parking at Graylands Hospital will park for free. (2) Paid staff parking at QEII Medical Centre commenced in 1966 as a requirement under the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre Act 1966 and the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (Delegated Site) By-laws, as amended. The current staff parking fee is $390 a year, which is the equivalent of $1.50 a day. This fee came into effect in July 2001 and no increases are proposed. Staff parking revenue for 2006-07 was $971 451.
