Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:26): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding hospitals. Why is the government's plan of building a new Women's and Children's Hospital including only one additional paediatric overnight bed—that's one additional—compared to the current hospital?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:26): The government has received advice of the recommendation of the clinicians and the executive steering committee. A government announcement will be made in due course.
