CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH SERVICE — APPOINTMENTS
923. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I
refer to the stand-by lists for appointments with a child health nurse through
the Child and Adolescent Health Service.
(1) How many clients are currently
on the stand-by list?
(2) For those
clients referred to on the list, will the minister provide a breakdown of the
number of clients by child health region?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Clients may be on a stand-by list
for a variety of reasons, including a request to see a specific clinician or
seeking an appointment for a specific time and date.
(1) As at 29 August 2023, there are
79 children on stand-by for a child health check.
(2) The
information that the member requested by region and the number of children per
region on stand-by is in tabular form. I seek leave to have that incorporated
into Hansard .

material to be incorporated.]
