In a significant cabinet shakeup, the health portfolio has been reassigned as part of a broader effort to drive economic growth and diversification in Western Australia. Premier Cook will oversee the state development and economic diversification portfolios, aiming to establish a strong manufacturing base in WA. The move follows speculation that Sanderson would relinquish the health portfolio to take on an economic role, with Cook revealing he personally approached her to discuss the transition, highlighting the government's focus on economic development and industry growth in the region, including key sectors like healthcare and manufacturing.
