Question
I refer to the School-aged Health Service Review and its recommendations released in February 2019, and I ask, for each recommendation made by the review, can the Minister advise:
(a) if the recommendation has been implemented and, if so, when;
(b) if the recommendation has not been implemented, what work has been undertaken to date to ensure its delivery and when is it expected to be implemented; and
(c) whether any State Government funding has been allocated to deliver the recommendation?
Answered on 12 October 2021
I am advised:
(a)-(c) There are eight workstreams with a total number of 32 recommendations. 14 recommendations have been completed during the implementation phase of the project (2020 to current). The progress of remaining recommendations is overseen by the Child and Adolescent Health Service Community Health (CAHS-CH) Project Oversight Committee and the Community Health Nursing Reform Steering Group, which include CAHS-CH, Western Australian Country Health Service (WACHS) and Department of Education (DoE) representatives. Implementation of recommendations has occurred within existing resources.
