Questions without notice

Canberra Hospital—infrastructure

MR HANSON: My question is to the Minister for Health. Minister, ACT Labor previously promised $800 million to develop the tower block at the Canberra Hospital. Your 2011-12 budget press release stated that $41 million was appropriated to “progress the next stage of planning and design for new infrastructure such as a new tower block at the Canberra Hospital”. Minister, will your promised $800 million tower block project proceed at TCH?

MS GALLAGHER: I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. The government will be continuing to implement the health infrastructure program over a number of years, as we have done in the years previously. It will include a new tower block at the Canberra Hospital. The detailed decisions around that will be taken probably within the next 12 months. In the meantime we are proceeding with the construction of the new public hospital at the University of Canberra, which this budget makes provisions for.
