CLOSING THE GAP
282. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the parliamentary secretary to
the Minister for Health:
I
refer to the WA government's Annual report: Closing the gap 2023 and the reference to the Early Years Partnership on page 39, which
states —
Now in its implementation phase, The
Department of Health is providing additional resources to coordinate
health-related actions in these community co-designed action plans.
Will the minister provide a breakdown
of the resources allocated by the department to the Early Years Partnership?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the minister.
As a member of the Early Years
Partnership, the Department of Health contributes $1.82 million over three
years until June 2025 to fund three full-time equivalent EYP-specific program
officers to coordinate health-related actions in the four communities of
Armadale West, Central Great Southern, Derby and Bidyadanga.
