‘YES MINISTER MOMENT’: NEONATAL UNIT SITTING UNUSED FOR THREE YEARS

A brand new, fully equipped hospital unit for babies in Perth has been sitting
idle for three years and is yet to admit a single newborn.

The unit, based at Osborne Park Hospital, was announced via a media statement
from Premier Mark McGowan and then-Health Minister Roger Cook in 2019, and
despite being reportedly completed by 2020, it has not been staffed or operated
since.

Australian Medical Association State President Mark Duncan-Smith told Gary
Adshead on 6PR Mornings the fully-furnished and fully-equipped asset is only
occasionally used by the hospital’s obstetricians.

“It’s just sitting there, and it’s basically used on an ad-hoc basis by the
delivery suite… the people on the ground are telling me the operational funding
budget for those staff was never secured,” Mr Duncan-Smith said.

Press PLAY to hear more about the contention around the non-operational neonatal
unit





Health Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson responded to the comments from the AMA,
saying the unit was part of the State Government’s plan to future-proof health
services, but admitted it is difficult to staff a specific neonatal centre.

“It has been hard to staff, and the number of cots makes it even harder,” she
said.

Press PLAY to hear the Health Minister’s full response to the concern over the
neonatal unit
