LOTTERYWEST AND
HEALTHWAY — ADMINISTRATIVE MERGER
480. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the merger between
Lotterywest and Healthway.
(1) What
provisions are in place to preserve the functions of Healthway as a body
focused specifically on health promotion activities?
(2) Given that
the interim report of the sustainable health review recommends a greater
emphasis on prevention, is the government considering increasing funding to
Healthway as an already established mechanism for prevention?
