I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) (a) Yes. (b) Yes. (c) No. The investigation did not call for formal submissions. Several people were interviewed and their views were taken into account during the investigation. (2) The answer is a partial yes as the minister will be making available a copy of the final report to the Merredin Health Service Board. The minister will be expecting that the incoming Merredin Health Service Board will develop an action plan to address issues raised in the course of the investigation. (3) The minister will consider tabling a copy of the final report when this has occurred. (4) The report found that the Merredin Health Service is facing a number of underlying pressures which will be difficult to resolve in isolation from other health services in the district or, indeed, other districts in the rural sector. The Merredin Health Service Board has decided that the General Manager of the Eastern Wheatbelt Health Service will be empowered with the responsibility to develop an action plan to ameliorate these pressures. (5) Yes. The recommendations supported the development of an action plan to address the key issues identified during the course of the investigation. (6) The Merredin Health Service Board is expected to continue dialogue with other boards, the district council and the Health Department of WA and other key stakeholders to develop an effective plan of action.
