Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:01): Can the minister tell us the maximum number of maternity beds in the Women's and Children's Hospital pre and post the upgraded SCBU, and are new mums being released earlier than planned due to a decrease in the number of general maternity beds?

The Hon. K.J. Maher: I bet he can't.

The PRESIDENT: The minister has the call.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:02): I can only reiterate what I said in the original answer. I am told the same bed capacity will be at the facility.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Pangallo, a final supplementary.
