PARKINSON’S WA - FUNDING
I would like to welcome the people from Parkinson’s Western Australia who are in the gallery. (1) Is the minister aware that Parkinson’s WA has asked the government for $192 000 to fund two additional nurses to provide the Parkinson’s nurse specialist service to the community? (2) If yes, why has the government refused to increase the funding over the past seven years despite the need for this service growing by more than 200 people each year? (3) Will the government reconsider its decision or will its refusal to provide funding set a health care precedent and force Parkinson’s WA to write pleading letters to its members asking for donations to provide this vital community service? Dr K.D. Hames : He is aware because I raised it during estimates. Mr J.A. McGINTY

AnswerView source ↗
Indeed. (1)-(3) The government has provided funding to Parkinson’s WA since 1998 for two nurse specialists. The request for an additional $192 000 a year is to double the nurse specialists employed by that association. The government recognises the need to provide increased services for people with Parkinson’s disease, and for that reason has funded other multidisciplinary services for people with the disease in addition to the Parkinson’s nurse specialist service. In the 2001-02 budget, the Western Australian government provided funds to the Parkinson’s disease centres of excellence to provide multidisciplinary services for inpatient and outreach care for people with Parkinson’s disease. These specialist units operate at the Osborne Park and Fremantle Hospitals. Since 2002, these services have been expanded, and a number of other initiatives for Parkinson’s sufferers have also been funded, including the provision of specialist Parkinson’s clinics in day therapy centres at other public hospitals and three neurological services in the south west, great southern and mid-west to provide nurse specialist services for all patients suffering from a range of degenerative neurological conditions, which includes Parkinson’s disease. This funding is provided through the Neurological Council of Western Australia’s neurological nurse specialist service. It is important, when we look at all these issues, to ensure that we are providing services to all the people with particular health needs who need those services. That is the reason the government has taken it upon itself in recent years to expand the range of services that it offers to people. In answer to the final question about fundraising by Parkinson’s WA, fundraising is commonplace amongst most non-government organisations providing services in the health area. A standard form of fundraising by those organisations is by requests, donations or the use of volunteers.
