Did the Minister state on 13 September 2017 that she had received expert advice saying it would be irresponsible to remove the cladding from the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children building; if so, can the Minister provide a copy of this expert advice.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. Summary of the advice provided by ACT Health below:
Potential risks of removing the identified polyethylene filled ACP panels in advance of the replacement panels being installed include potentially compromising building water tightness, voiding building warranties, reduced operational efficiency of the building and increased risk of vermin entering the building. The two step approach to removal and replacement may have an operational impact on the building function due to prolonged periods of scaffolding erection and removal including the additional cost associated with double handling materials and equipment.
