I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No. The Child
and Adolescent Health Service currently delivers community child health
services within the metropolitan region as part of its core business.
Currently, a component of this is outsourced to the Salvation Army. However, CAHS will bring these services back in-house to
be delivered by CAHS, which will ensure the services are integrated with
CAHS existing clinical governance structures, services and programs to support
continuity of care for clients.
(2) Not applicable.
