Cranbourne electorate

 Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (14:48): (1583) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. How long will it take nurses and midwives and other clinicians and healthcare workers to travel from my electorate, quite specifically from the Cranbourne train station, to the Parkville health neighbourhood? Parkville is home to our extraordinary healthcare facilities, built and redeveloped by Labor governments: the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre, Peter Mac, the Women’s hospital, the Children’s hospital, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, the Doherty, the Florey and of course the CSIRO and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Our nurses and midwives and healthcare professionals are valuable and sit at the heart of Cranbourne. Their capacity to get to work quickly with a turn-up-and-go service is vital to their ability to live somewhere wonderful like Cranbourne and get back home at the end of their workday. I would like to thank our nurses and midwives for everything that they do. Their expertise is so precious and important. I look forward to the minister’s response.
