HOSPITALS — CODE
YELLOW DECLARATIONS
315. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that the public of Western Australia has a right to know whether or not
hospitals are under duress, how does the minister's refusal to provide
this information sit with the Labor Party's commitment in 2017 that its
government was committed to improving accessibility to, and transparency of,
information about the Western Australian public health system?

The transparency and reporting of
public accounts and details of our health system has never been more prolific than it has been under our government. There are a
whole range of metrics, whether they be emergency departments , wait
times, emergency departments' performance compared with that in other
jurisdictions, elective surgeries or a whole range of metrics about
outpatients. Indeed, we introduced Care Opinion, which is an online public
record of people's candid, unedited
thoughts about the care they received in the public hospital system, which is
something the former government never did. In fact, we have made our
system much more transparent and accountable to the WA public and much more
responsive to its needs than the Liberal Party ever did in its time in
government.
