(1)-(2) The original memorandum of understanding contained a series of commitments extending over the next two years. Additionally, changes to the original MOU have been negotiated to hasten and re-order the phased roll-out. Seven of the originally identified telehealth project sites have services available, and the others are planned for implementation over the agreed period. These seven are at Port Hedland, Narrogin, Wagin, Dumbleyung, Lake Grace, Kulin and Hyden. (3)-(4) The Health Department of Western Australia reports regularly to the Commonwealth on acquittal against the MOU, and an April 2000 report is tabled for members’ information. [See paper No 339.]
