CHILDREN —
HEARING LOSS
223. Hon GIZ WATSON to the Minister for Child
Protection:
This morning we had a breakfast
seminar at Parliament House addressing the issue of loss of hearing in
Aboriginal children and its consequences. Can the minister indicate what, if
anything, her department is doing with regard to funding and resourcing to deal
with the issue of hearing loss in children in the state?

AnswerView source ↗

The issue of loss of hearing comes
under the health department, but I am very happy to liaise with the Minister
for Health and get the member an answer to that question.
