ACT Health—infrastructure upgrade
(Question No 2128)
Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, upon notice, on 15 February 2019:
(1) What was the original program of works established under the Upgrade and Maintain ACT Health Assets (UMAHA) program.
(2) What was the original (a) budget and (b) completion timeline for each job.
(3) What was the status of each job as to (a) cost and (b) completion timeline as at the date this question was published in the Questions on Notice Paper.
(4) Which jobs (if any), as at the date this question was published in the Questions on Notice Paper, have been removed from the program, and why.
(5) Up to date on which this question was published in the Questions on Notice Paper, which jobs (if any), have been added to the program, and for each new job (a) why was it added, (b) what is its budget and (c) what is its budgeted completion timeline.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) 149 infrastructure projects were contained within the original UMAHA program, comprising 3 extreme, 111 high, 16 medium and 19 low risks which were grouped by trade, size or location to create a series of work packages. See attached table for the work packages.
(2) See attached table for the original budget and completion timeline.
(3) See attached table for status of each package.
(4) Elements of minor medical equipment procurement have been deferred based on UMAHA risk prioritisation and alignment with plant and equipment procurement priorities across Canberra Health Services. Additionally, elements of the minor works package associated with Gaunt Place buildings were removed given the planned demolition of five out of six buildings associated with the development of the Southside Community Step-Up Step- Down facility at Gaunt Place.
(5) Building 11 Birthing Suite ensuites has been added to the UMAHA program.
a) In February 2016, water leaks were identified in the Birthing Suites. The source of the leaks is attributed to a lack of an installed waterproof seal and a leaking hot and cold shower tap spindle/extension assembly. The project was added to remediate the identified water leaks that involved a room rebuild, including the installation of a waterproof seal and a single shower mixer tap arrangement.
b) The estimated cost of this work is $2.75m.
c) Completion of the remediation for the ensuites is November 2019.
