Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 534 asked in the Legislative Council on 4 June 2019 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

URGENT CARE CLINIC — GERALDTON

534. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the McGowan government's election commitment for urgent care clinics across Western Australia.

(1) What is the status of the Labor election commitment to establish an urgent care clinic in Geraldton?

(2) When will the clinic commence operation?

(3) What funding has been allocated in the 2019–20 state budget and forward estimates to support this commitment?

(4) Which local service providers has the McGowan government worked with to deliver this commitment?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I note that this question was asked on Wednesday, 15 May 2019. The answer as at that date is current.

(1)–(4) The GP urgent care clinic network is currently being established and will be piloted within the metropolitan area. Once this pilot is underway, the options for rollout across the WA Country Health Service will be assessed. In the meantime, the provision of acute healthcare services at Geraldton Health Campus will be a key priority for the government.
