Hospitals—Emergency presentations
597. Hon Simon Ehrenfeld to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to emergency
presentations at Western Australian state hospitals.
(1) For each of the past eight years, by year, how
many presentations to Western Australian public hospital emergency departments
have been reported for assault related injuries when family and domestic
violence was identified as the primary cause?
(2) For each of the past eight years, by year, how
many suspected family and domestic violence cases presenting to hospital
emergency departments were referred to:
(a) the Western Australia Police Force; and
(b) family and domestic violence support services,
including social workers?
The President: Honourable member, you are seeking data
going back eight years and that may or may not be available.
Hon Simon Ehrenfeld: Sorry.
The President: It may or may not be available and is
not really determined as being considered concise. I am going to put the
question to the parliamentary secretary, and if you are able to get an answer,
good luck. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health.
