MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION TAKEN ON NOTICE ON 12 MARCH 1991
Weston Creek Health Centre
MR MOORE -Asked the Minister for Health Education and the Arts :
How much money was spent by the Government on alterations to
Weston Creek Health Centre in preparation for the movement of the
Therapy Centre before the move was aborted because of a tenant,
Dr Reeve, could not be moved? And, why did the Ministry not
check Dr Reeves lease before work began?
MR HUMPHRIES -The answer to Mr Moores question is :
Some work was commenced on the re-fit for the move of the Therapy
Centre. This construction work, which commenced as part of the
Therapy Centre, has been incorporated into construction
requirements for the Independent Living Centre. No extra cost
was involved.
The move of the Therapy Centre was not possible because of delays
caused by picket action at South Curtin and Weston Creek.
Negotiations with Dr Reeve have been proceeding since it was
decided that the Independent Living Centre would relocate to
Weston Creek.
Although there was no legal base why Dr Reeve could not be moved,
I decided, that negotiation was a better method than legal means.
