WA COUNTRY HEALTH SERVICE — SILVER CHAIN
918. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Thank you, minister. Given that
regional health services are already stretched in their capacity to staff
services, can the minister guarantee that the FTE allocation will remain the
same or be increased for all those services?

AnswerView source ↗

I can certainly say that that is the
aim. That is certainly the aim. There has been no reduction in WACHS services
when we have been able to provide the staff. Some of these towns are very
small, with a very limited population. It will be a determination about whether
a staff member wants to come over to the public health service. The aim is to
maintain the service. That is why we took it over.
