Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 531 asked in the Legislative Council on 18 August 2021 by Hon Donna Faragher

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH SERVICE

531. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the answer given to question without notice 382 asked on 3 August 2021, which states that $1.6 million was provided to employ additional paediatricians and allied health staff within the Child and Adolescent Health Service between January and November 2021.

(1) Can the minister confirm whether the Child and Adolescent Health Service has submitted a business case to the Department of Health requesting a continuation of this additional funding?

(2) If yes —

(a) what is the total amount of funding sought by CAHS as part of this business case; and

(b) has the minister approved this additional funding; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer is provided by the Minister for Health.

(1) Yes.

(2) (a)–(b) This matter is subject to cabinet consideration as part of the 2021–22 budget process and therefore is currently subject to cabinet confidentiality.
