The WA Statae Government has been accused of “trickery” in providing two separate papers on their planned relocation of the new Mothers and Babies Hospital from the central King Edward and Perth Children’s Hospital sites to Fiona Stanley Hospital.

WA Liberal leader gave short shrift to the Cook Government, saying it was almost unbelievable they would water down their own intentions.

Press PLAY to hear Gary’s full editorial

6PR Mornings presenter Gary Adshead gave a similar opinion, arguing the provided cases for the transition were full of holes.

Infrastructure WA understands engagement with appropriate clinical staff is underway, and therein lies the rub,” Mr Adshead said.

Because according to the Australian Medical Association, which represents those clinical staff, Fiona Stanley hospital does not have the critical obstetric or paediatric needs required to make the Murdoch plan work.”
