CORONAVIRUS
— HEALTH MODELLING
668. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the article ''COVID
in WA: Mark McGowan open to deviating from Andy Robertson's health
advice for first time'' first published 13 July 2022 in The West
Australian.
(1) Please table
the COVID-19 modelling referenced in the article.
(2) Will the
Premier commit to ensuring that any new modelling for COVID-19 is publicly
available during the ongoing public health state of emergency and state of
emergency; and, if not, why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
Premier and the Minister for Health meet with the Chief Health Officer
regularly, who also meets with his national
counterparts on the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee. A range
of research, analysis and forecasting
is conducted on a national level. There is no WA-commissioned modelling to
table.
