Position Statements

Colourful Irregular Bars

Health Consumers’ Council has created these position statements to communicate our position on key issues affecting people and communities in WA.

If you have any questions about our position on these issues, please contact us on 9221 3422 or info@hconc.org.au

Retention of Royal Perth Hospital (RPH)

HCC accepts there is both community support and opposition to the retention of RPH. The decision to retain RPH conflicts with considered and deliberative long-term planning for health services in the state. The community resources and workforce required to continue operation of RPH as a tertiary facility compete directly wit those needed for the southern tertiary hospital and all other critical areas of growth in Perth. HCC supports the reversal of the decision to retain RPH as a tertiary hospital and the scaling down of the facility to provide other discrete health care services including urgent care services, a CBD primary care service and possibly an elective surgery facility.
