I am advised:
(1) The total amount of operational funding spent by the State Government on palliative care services in 2017-18 was $41.4 million.
(2) The operational funding in forward estimates allocated for State Government spending on palliative care services is $41.4 million in 2018-19, $42.3 million in 2019-20, $43.4 million in 2020-21 and $44.6 million in 2021-22.
Future funding opportunities for End-of-Life and Palliative Care will be informed and guided by the Joint Select Committee (JSC) recommendations for end-of-life and palliative care and the WA End-of-life and Palliative Care Strategy 2018-2028 (Strategy).
The Department of Health, WA Cancer and Palliative Care Network is in the early stages of planning for the implementation of the Joint Select Committee Recommendations. This work is being undertaken in conjunction with the implementation plan for the Strategy’s six key priority areas.
