Narracan electorate
Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (14:48): (228) My constituency question is to the Minister for Health, and the information my community is seeking is how much funding is allocated to the West Gippsland Hospital. The state budget allocated $320 million towards planning and works for six or seven new hospitals, including West Gippsland. My community wants to know how much of the $320 million has been allocated to the new West Gippsland Hospital from that amount. Confusion has come about because the Minister for Regional Development in the other place has said on Facebook:
we’re investing $320 million
To get the new West Gippsland Hospital underway
So can the minister end the confusion caused by the Minister for Regional Development and please provide the accurate information about how much funding of this $320 million is allocated to the new West Gippsland Hospital.
