CHILD EAR, NOSE AND THROAT SPECIALISTS
37. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to a constituent who
complained to my office about waiting times for appointments with child ear,
nose and throat specialists. What is the average waiting time for a child to
get an appointment with a publicly-funded ear, nose and throat specialist in
the Perth metropolitan area?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question. In 2015, the median waiting time—which is
the standard measure utilised nationally—for a child aged zero to 16
years to get an appointment with a publicly-funded ear, nose and throat
specialist in the Perth metropolitan area was 68 days.
