Question asked
- Why is there still no timeline, no funding, and no clarity for families four months after the Government accepted the recommendation for a standalone northside birth centre.
- Why will the $1 billion northside hospital not include full paediatric services, requiring Belconnen and Gungahlin families to travel across town to Woden for care.
- How does the Minister justify what appears to be ongoing neglect of northside families’ basic healthcare needs.
- How many announcements have been made by the Government regarding northside health services in the past three years, and how many of these have been fully delivered.
- Will the Minister guarantee that both the standalone birth centre and full paediatric services will be in place when the northside hospital opens; if not, what is the expected timeline for delivery of these services.
