Campaigning for the state election to be held on 29 November 2014, Victorian Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews has pledged that the Australian Labor Party would contribute $A60m to the cost of $A180m for a new biomedical engineering centre at St Vincent’s Hospital. The State Government has not specifically matched the promise. Peter Choong, director of orthopaedics at St Vincent’s Hospital, says the proposed Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery will allow for experts to co-operate across disciplines including engineering, medicine and biological sciences
