ALBANY HEALTH CAMPUS — ACCREDITATION

912. Hon COLIN HOLT to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to question without notice 900, asked yesterday by me.

(1) On what date did the Albany Health Campus first get assessed under the ''National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards: Second edition''?

(2) Were any issues raised by the assessors at that time; and, if so, what were those issues?

(3) Has the Albany Health Campus had any further assessments since that initial assessment?

(4) Did the Albany Health Campus operate at any time without that accreditation?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I am advised of the following.

(1) WA Country Health Service great southern, including Albany Health Campus, was first assessed for accreditation under version 2 of the ''National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards'' between 18 and 22 March 2019.

(2) The initial assessment identified some areas for improvement relating to governance and leadership.

(3) WA Country Health Service great southern, including Albany Health Campus, underwent reassessment on 24 and 25 July 2019 against the areas identified during the initial assessment in March.

(4) Albany Health Campus has been fully accredited throughout this process and following reassessment remains fully accredited for a further three years.
