Constituency questions
Polwarth electorate
Richard RIORDAN (Polwarth) (14:38): (560) My question is to the Minister for Health, and my question is: when will the Torquay community hospital begin to be built? The Torquay community hospital was promised by the now Allan Labor government back in 2018, and in fact a consultation committee was set up. On the website as of right now it says that this hospital will be ready and available for the people of Torquay in 2024. I would like to let the minister know that despite the fact that she has made the promise to my community that they will have a hospital, it is now an overgrown paddock of self-sown trees that have grown in the time since this commitment has been made, and it is disappointing to think that there will not be a hospital there this year. The communities of Torquay and the Surf Coast will greatly appreciate the answer to the question: when will the Torquay community hospital begin? When will it be available for the people of Torquay and the great Surf Coast?
