The query is one of four submitted by Better Border Health to be answered at Albury Wodonga Health's annual meeting next Tuesday.
The question is based on the board previously unanimously supporting the construction of a new hospital.
Other inquiries relate to a clinical services plan being ignored, building disruption if the Albury extension proceeds and when the master plan/business case for the redevelopment is released.
Wodonga Council has also put forward questions.
The meeting will be at The Cube in Wodonga from 5.30pm with 40 registering to attend by Tuesday's deadline.
