CHILD HEALTH NURSE SERVICES — STAND-BY LIST
522. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to stand-by lists for appointments with a child
health nurse through the Child and Adolescent Health Service.
(1) How many clients are currently on the stand-by list?
(2) For those
clients referred to on the list, will the minister provide a breakdown of the
number of clients by child health region?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. The following answer has been provided by the Minister for Health.
(1) There are 62 children on a stand-by list. Children
may be on a stand-by list because their parent or guardian has expressed
a preference for a specific clinician or clinic, or have declined alternative
appointments and so wish to remain on a stand-by list.
(2) As of 16
May 2024.
The rest of
the answer is in tabular form and I seek leave to have the response
incorporated into Hansard .
