(4) There are no "Specialist Rehabilitation" beds in country WA. There are beds nominally allocated for use as rehabilitation of patients at Albany (2 beds) and Geraldton (6 beds after July 2006). There are no resident geriatricians or rehabilitation medical specialists in country WA. (5) At Bunbury Hospital the 10 "Specialist Rehabilitation" bed unit, constructed in 1999, was never commissioned for this purpose. The beds were commissioned as general beds and have been used as overflow beds when needed and earlier this year Bunbury Hospital loaned the area to the collocated St John of God Health Care Bunbury for their use during the time of their current redevelopment program. Since 2000, 314 patients have been coded as rehabilitation patients but these are not specialist rehabilitation patients. (NOTE: coding practices have changed during this period which indicates there has been an under recording of rehabilitation patients at Bunbury Hospital) . (6) The 314 recorded rehabilitation patients at Bunbury Hospital generated a total bed usage of 3,572 bed days. The estimated cost of a bed day is approximately $1,000 giving a total cost of $3.572 million over the period since 2000. (7) In addition to general nursing and medical care both hospitals provided physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dietary services and social work services to these patients. (8) The number of stroke patients admitted to: (a) Royal Perth: 660 in total (562 metro, 88 non-metro, 10 other) (b) Sir Charles Gairdner: 552 in total (505 metro, 41 non-metro, 6 other) (c) Fremantle: 284 in total (273 metro, 4 non-metro, 7 other) (d) Princess Margaret: 17 in total (8 metro, 8 non-metro, 1 other) Note: Breakdown has been provided by metropolitan, non-metropolitan and other (includes other Australian States and overseas residents) as breakdown by postcode may identify a patient due to the small numbers. (9) The stroke separations have been extracted from HCARe (Geraldton and Kalgoorlie) and the Hospital Morbidity Data System (Bunbury) utilising the corresponding Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG). It is not possible to categorise all the separations into the 3 headings requested but in the country there are also patients who were transferred to another hospital, usually in the metropolitan area. There are also the 'other' group added to the table and they are patients who 'undergo a care change' and are allocated a new DRG because their type of care needed has altered. For example the patient who was admitted with an acute stroke has now reached the need for rehabilitation care and therefore has a new DRG allocated thus being discharged with another DRG not that of a stroke.

The beds were commissioned as general beds and have been used as overflow beds when needed and earlier this year Bunbury Hospital loaned the area to the collocated St John of God Health Care Bunbury for their use during the time of their current redevelopment program.

It is not possible to categorise all the separations into the 3 headings requested but in the country there are also patients who were transferred to another hospital, usually in the metropolitan area. There are also the 'other' group added to the table and they are patients who 'undergo a care change' and are allocated a new DRG because their type of care needed has altered. For example the patient who was admitted with an acute stroke has now reached the need for rehabilitation care and therefore has a new DRG allocated thus being discharged with another DRG not that of a stroke.
