Repatriation General Hospital

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Supplementary arising from the answer about the Repat hospital: given that the minister had said, in the lead-up to the election, that surgery would commence swiftly, when will surgery recommence at the Repat exactly?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:46): As I formerly advised the council, the RFI process for the Repat is underway. The tenders have closed, the RFI has closed and the evaluations and negotiations are continuing. As soon as I have advice on the finality of those processes, I will bring them back to the council.
