Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:53): Supplementary: how much will the new Women's and Children's Hospital actually cost, when will it be completed and when will it start construction?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:53): The government has put $550 million into the 2019-20 state budget for the new women's and children's planning phase. The design team was appointed in March, so the project is continuing to develop, but until the full business case is completed we won't be in a position to indicate the estimated cost.
