West Gippsland Hospital

Wayne FARNHAM (Narracan) (19:08): (1224) My adjournment this evening is for the Minister for Health Infrastructure, and the action I seek is a firm date on when the West Gippsland Hospital will start. I am sorry to put you through this again, Acting Speaker, but tonight I have the opportunity with the minister at the table. I will repeat it. I asked this question on November 12, after my father died, to the previous minister, who did not have enough respect for me and my community to give us an answer on that, so I am hoping tonight that the minister is at the table and she will treat my community with a bit more respect than the Minister for Health has done in the past. This hospital, we need a date on it. It is so important for my community. The hospital is in very bad disrepair, and no-one should have to go into this hospital at this point in time. I am asking the minister tonight, while she is at the table: could you please give us an indication of when the hospital will start.
