I thank the member for some notice of the question. (1)–(5) The North Metropolitan, South Metropolitan, Child and Adolescent and WA Country Health Services and the Department of Health either directly or through contract arrangements with non-government organisations provide an enhanced home visiting service. These services include hospital in the home, rehabilitation in the home and home hospital services, which include hospital substitution, post acute care and community nursing services. As each hospital in each area health service provides a home visiting service, providing the information in the time required is not possible, and I request that the member place the question on notice.
