Bordertown Memorial Hospital

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:04): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, regarding hospitals. Has the immediate and shovel-ready installation of generators and electrical upgrades at Bordertown hospital been completed?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:04): I would like to send a cheerio to the Minister for Trade and Investment, the son of Bordertown.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: I think Bob Hawke is the son of Bordertown.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: For us you are the son of Bordertown. The honourable member's question related to Bordertown. The Marshall Liberal government is pleased to be dealing with Labor's neglect of country hospitals by investing, I'm told, $495,000 in electrical distribution network upgrades, switchboards and cabling at the Bordertown hospital. I'm advised that the proposed tender release is June 2020, just a couple of weeks away, and the proposed completion is by the end of the year.
