EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PRESENTATIONS
1246. Hon BEN DAWKINS to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
Can the minister please provide
information, broken down by year, related to the number of people under the age
of 40 presenting to emergency departments in Western Australian hospitals with
chest pain or heart issues for the years 2017 to 2023?
The PRESIDENT : Honourable member,
I think you are probably aware that that question is seeking a lot of information and thereby does not fit the
definition of being concise, but let us see whether the parliamentary secretary is able to provide an answer to that.

AnswerView source ↗

Thank you, President. I do have an
answer.
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following has been provided by the Minister for
Health.
The level of data requested would
require an extensive review of the records and is not considered a reasonable
use of government resources. I request that the member place the question on
notice.
