The 2026-27 Budget Papers often refer to the Government building world class health infrastructure. Can the Minister advise:
(a) What new world class health infrastrcture will be delivered in 2026-27;
(b) What metric has been used to classify the health infrastructure being built as world class;
(c) In order to label something as world class it must be compared to best practice elsewhere, so where is this best practice that WA's health infrastructure is being compared to and how is it determined to be world class;
(d) Whether the Women's and Babies Hospital can be labelled world class when the Australian Medical Association (AMA) has labelled the current configuration fragmented, unsafe and risks gaps in governance, escalation and responsibility (AMA website, 3 March 2026); and
(e) Whether the AMA, the peak health advocacy body in WA, has made a credible assessment of the hospital?
