RENAL DIALYSIS WAITLIST
1255. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to Western Australians
waiting for renal dialysis.
(1) What was the
number of persons waiting for renal dialysis, broken down by area health
service, as at the following dates —
(a) 1 July 2022; and
(b) 1 July 2023?
(2) For (1)(a) and (b), what is the
average time people have been waiting to access renal dialysis?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question, but that amount of information for every area health service in Western Australia is an
unreasonable amount of information to gather in four hours. The minister's response is: to allow for a fulsome and accurate response, I request the member
place their question on notice.
