MORTALITY RATE
869. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Health:
I refer to the Australian Bureau of
Statistics provisional mortality statistics that states —
There were 190,775 deaths which
occurred in 2022. This is significantly higher than usual and is not considered
to be a typical year for mortality in Australia.
(1) Has the minister received a briefing
on any spike in death rates in WA?
(2) If yes to (1), when did this
briefing occur?
(3) Will the
minister table any briefing notes or similar documents prepared by the
department in relation to increased death rates in 2022?
