I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
As the WA Country Health Service has recently implemented a
new patient administration system, it is difficult to extract accurate wait
time figures. In order to provide this information, WACHS staff will need to
manually review and count the client files. I request that the honourable
member place the question on notice.
