(1) State and Federal funding are combined to manage elective surgery. The Department of Health does not disaggregate this funding when allocating budgets to Area Health Services. The funding source for individual elective surgery procedures is not distinguished.
(2) Western Australia has not missed out on any funding as a consequence of not meeting elective surgery targets. In 2011, the State did not receive $2 million due to the Commonwealth not accepting Western Australia's revised data for assessment.
