QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Peel Health Community Fund and the launch, which the Minister attended on 29 June 2012, where Health Solutions WA (HSWA) promised to make available $250,000 this financial year to local families, individuals and community groups who support illness prevention or general health and wellbeing initiatives, and ask:
(a) is the Peel Health Community Fund still operational, and if not, when was the fund terminated;
(b) how much of the $250,000 pledged has been expended to date, which groups/applicants were successful, and how much did they receive;
(c) will any surplus funds be made available to the community, as promised by HSWA, before their contract is transferred to Ramsays;
(d) how many applications have been received for funding and how many of these were successful;
(e) who was responsible for the assessment of applications and who or what entity made the decision on which ones were successful;
(f) have there been any applicants which were informed that they had been successful but have yet to receive their funding, or, their funding has not as yet been honoured; and
(g) if yes to (f), which groups and/or individuals were these?

(a) - (g) The Peel Health Community Fund was funded and administered by the
operator of the Peel Health Campus, Health Solutions WA, not this State
Government.
Ramsay Health Care has subsequently taken over the contract to operate Peel
Health Campus.
As the Member for Dawesville, I will approach Ramsay Health Care to request
the fund be continued.
For details of expenditure, administration and awarding of funds, the Member
should direct any queries to Ramsay Health Care once they formally take over
operations in the near future.
