(1) The WA Country Health Service has been a statutory Area Health Service and budget holder for all rural and remote publicly funded health services in the Kimberley, Pilbara Gascoyne, Midwest Murchison, Wheatbelt, Goldfields South East and Great Southern regions. The area health service manages its budget allocation for service delivery, capital projects, corporate support and special health planning and policy projects at the central, regional and district levels. As such, there are no longer isolated health care unit budgets which can be compared to the health care unit budgets prior to 1 July 2002. This is because several functions and cost centres previously provided and administered by a large number of individual boards are now undertaken at different levels. The actual gross operating expenditure, excluding capital user charges and accelerated depreciation, for the WA Country Health Service for 2003/04 was $423,863,264. (2) The initial gross operating budget, excluding capital user charges and accelerated depreciation, for the WA Country Health Service for 2004/05 is $437,124,478. (3a-c) The number of FTE's in each WA Country Health Service region are as follows: 2002/03 2003/04 2004/05 Actual Actual Actual FTE FTE FTE Goldfields South East region 628.30 632.70 632.00 Great Southern region 678.50 679.90 685.10 Kimberley region 675.00 663.00 679.20 Midwest Murchison region 597.30 612.70 609.70 Pilbara Gascoyne region 759.20 778.10 783.40 Wheatbelt region 963.20 975.00 968.20 (4) Discontinued visiting specialist medical arrangements are as follows: Goldfields South East region Ravensthorpe District Hospital, general surgery (visiting) - Ravensthorpe patients are now referred to Esperance.
