COMMUNITY
CHILD HEALTH SERVICES
961. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the May 2012 announcement of $58.5 million over
four years to implement the expansion of community child health services across
WA through the not-for-profit sector.
(1) If only
$2.02 million of the $9.11 million has been spent this financial year, will the
remaining money be spent this financial year?
(2) Does the time frame to spend the $58.5 million within
four years still stand?
