Constituency questions

Ripon electorate

Ms STALEY (Ripon) (14:39): (6466) My question is for the Minister for Health. Will the minister fund the $75 million rebuild of the Daylesford hospital so my constituents in the Hepburn shire part of Ripon can access improved facilities? The Hepburn community has been agitating for a rebuild of the Daylesford hospital and they have been running a campaign to achieve that. They recently met with the Shadow Minister for Health. But I note that for the Minister for Health this is her electorate, and the people who attend this hospital in Daylesford are from her electorate and from my electorate. Constituents in both our electorates would no doubt like this hospital done. Given that she is the Minister for Health, surely the Minister for Health can ensure that this project is completed. I am confused, in fact, as to why she has not been able to achieve it so far.
