          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL:</by>  The previous government, sir, as you would be more than aware, made an announcement that the Hampstead centre was going to close. It was made at the same time they announced that they were going to close St Margaret's and the Repat. Thankfully, we have been able to save the issue in regard to the Repat.</text>
        <text id="20190227ecfa2ab308604fe290000552">There was a plan by the previous government to take many of the rehab services for those who are living with brain injury or spinal injury down to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I think it is more than clear that we have made a decision, as the government, to move those services to the Repat site. That doesn't stop us from moving ahead with our planned expenditure on The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I think that is in the order of $270 million to $280 million worth of upgrades, which will occur at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.</text>
