(a) The current $325 million Southern Inland Health Initiative (SIHI) capital program comprises of 5 separate streams of works:
Stream 2 - Integrated District Health Centres $147.1 million
Stream 3 - Primary Health Centre Demonstration Program $43.3 million
Stream 4 - Small Hospital and Nursing Posts $108.8 million
Stream 5 - Telehealth $5.5 million
Stream 6 - Residential Aged & Dementia Care $20 million
[See tabled paper no] for a list of all works currently undertaken within the SIHI project on a site by site basis for the 2012/13 financial year. Please note however, that the capital funding expended to date is for enabling works items and is actual construction expenditure only.
(b) Construction of the Busselton Health Campus is approximately 50% complete. The last major concrete pour occurred in September 2013. Interior fit out has commenced. Temporary roads are in place to maintain site access and the first of the new car parks is being used by staff and patients. All existing services continue to be provided from the site.
