(Question No 799)

Mr Smyth asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 23 November 2005:

(3) What was delivered for the $67 000 in capital expenditure as at the end of the 2004-05 financial year for this project as part of Calvary Hospital’s works in progress;

(4) Given the completion dates for The Canberra Hospital and Calvary Hospital components of funding for this project is scheduled for January and February, respectively, next year, is this project running according to schedule; if not, why not and what is the new expected completion date.

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The Medical School Project is under construction and is 75% complete.

(2) Work status as of the end of June 2005 included all design work leading up to establishment of ground and basement level foundations and floor slabs, structural perimeter columns and external drainage.

(3) The $67,000 expended for ANUMS at the Calvary site included payment for the ACTIA insurance premium, application fees to ACTPLA, installation costs for IT connections to the ANU site, and design development fees post final sketch plans.

(4) The ANU Medical School at TCH is now scheduled for completion by the end of March 2006. The eight-week delay in completion is largely due to difficulties in procuring services during this tight construction market. The ANU Medical School at CHC is scheduled for completion March 2006.
