I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The level of physical activity in the Western Australian population is continuously monitored by the Department of Health. The effects of daylight saving on physical activity will be evaluated from this information. (2) Not applicable. (3) As daylight saving ceased only on 29 March 2009, the data for the current daylight saving period is as yet unavailable. (4) The results of the current daylight saving period will be available within the next three months. Hon Paul Llewellyn : After the referendum! Hon SIMON O’BRIEN : Just play safe and vote no is my advice. (5) Other indicators of health and wellbeing are continuously monitored by the Department of Health for routine health surveillance purposes that could potentially be used to show any differences during daylight saving period compared with the years without daylight saving. (6) Information on chronic diseases, health risk factors, health service use and mental wellbeing is continuously collected by the Department of Health. No evaluation of these indicators is planned.
