Will the minister outline what the Gallop government is doing to improve the integration and coordination of cancer care service delivery across the state? Mr J.A. McGINTY
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. At a senate inquiry hearing held into cancer care in Perth last week, concerns were raised about the fragmented nature of cancer services in Western Australia. Officers from the Department of Health informed the senate inquiry of deficiencies that exist in the level of care for people suffering from cancer, with emphasis on both geographic and socioeconomic factors. In January this year, as part of the implementation of the recommendations of the Reid report, “A Healthy Future for Western Australians”, the government established a cancer services task force, which is made up of clinical experts in cancer care and community representatives, to develop a statewide plan for the provision of cancer services. The task force is on target to deliver its report by the end of June this year. We have already begun implementing those elements of the plan that are self-evident. Members of this house are aware - it is the reason the member for Albany asked this question - that people suffering cancer in rural and regional Western Australia suffer far worse outcomes than those living in the city. Therefore, regional areas of Western Australia are a particular priority when it comes to the delivery of cancer care services. Dr J.M. Woollard : There is also a difference in the service provision in the north and south metropolitan areas. Mr J.A. McGINTY : That is right, but the most acute problems are experienced by people suffering cancer who live in country areas. For that reason, during the election campaign the government announced a comprehensive plan to allocate an additional $30 million for cancer care to improve the coordination and standards of care for cancer patients, with particular focus on improving cancer expertise and care to rural communities. We are very pleased that the plan has been endorsed by the Cancer Council WA. The plan will result in the establishment of a statewide director of cancer services, the employment of 20 cancer care nurse coordinators - 10 in regional areas and 10 in metropolitan areas - travelling oncologists to provide outpatient services and to train country GPs to deal with cancer, and an expansion of rural palliative care services. Cancer research and prevention programs will also receive additional funding so that advances in cancer research are quickly transferred to clinical practice. The statewide skin cancer prevention program run by the Cancer Council WA will receive increased funding to help reduce the incidence of skin cancer. Colorectal cancer screening will be introduced in Western Australia. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, and screening can reduce the mortality rate by between 15 and 33 per cent. On a preventive note, members will be aware that the government is also attacking one of the leading causes of cancer in this country by banning smoking in pubs and clubs from July next year. Hopefully, what have been identified as shortcomings in the delivery of cancer services will be met by the new state cancer plan.
