(2) What is the rationale behind the proposed plan to relocate the ILC to Kambah.
(3) How will a move of the ILC to Kambah produce efficiencies in service delivery in excess of those already being met from the current Weston Creek location.
(4) What is the expected total financial cost to the ACT Government for the ILC move and what factors are considered in calculating this cost.
(5) What will be the expected operating cost for the ILC per annum at Kambah in comparison to the operating cost per annum at its current location.
(6) Was the advice of ILC (a) staff and (b) consumers sought in relation to whether the move was a good idea; if so, what was their advice.
(7) Has the ACT Government considered what impact the move may have on ILC waiting lists and waiting times; if so, what impact does the ACT Government expect.
(8) If there are benefits to be gained for consumers by this relocation, why was the new proposed ACT Health facility not established at the Health and Wellbeing Hub at Melrose.
(9) How has the ACT Government considered the ability for consumers of the ILC to access the new location which is more isolated than the current one.
(10) What will the ACT Government do to assist those consumers, including those consumers who use wheelchair accessible taxis, who find the new proposed site more difficult or costly to travel to.
