AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I have been advised of the following.
(1)–(6) Germanus
Kent House and Juniper Numbala Nunga are privately run residential aged-care
facilities and therefore the WA Country Health Service is unable to provide any
information about residents receiving care in either facility. WACHS has one
patient at Germanus Kent House in Broome only for respite. There are no
patients awaiting placement in the Shire of Derby–West Kimberley.
