CUNDERDIN HEALTH CENTRE
905. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Health:
I refer to the over 600 people who
have signed a petition calling on the government to provide palliative care and
overnight observation services at Cunderdin Health Centre and the multiple
meetings the shire has had with the WA Country Health Service over the last six
years.
(1) Further to
the grievance I raised with the minister in September, has the department
briefed the minister on this proposal?
(2) Will the minister meet with the
president of the shire and the councillors to discuss this proposal?

(1)–(2) I
have not been briefed by the WA Country Health Service on the proposal but I understand
it has had multiple meetings with the shire, including six this year. That is
very good engagement from WACHS. My understanding is that the shire raised
concerns about the current situation and the distance from the emergency
department to Cunderdin Health Centre, and on the use of the facility. No, I have
not been briefed. I am happy to meet with the shire and to work with it about its
concerns.
