ALBANY HEALTH CAMPUS —
ACCREDITATION
900. Hon COLIN HOLT to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to claims that the Albany
Health Campus has recently failed an accreditation process.
(1) Has the
hospital failed to meet the National Safety and Quality Health Service
Standards or some other measure?
(2) If yes to
(1), what are the details of the failure specifically, and on what date was the
assessment reported?
(3) If yes to (1), will the minister
please table the report relating to the failed assessment?
(4) What action
has been taken by the WA Country Health Service and hospital management to
rectify the situation?
Hon ALANNA
CLOHESY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I am advised of the following.
(1) The ''National Safety and Quality Health
Service Standards: Second edition'' was implemented in January 2019,
and the WA Country Health Service, great southern, including Albany Health
Campus, was the first service in WA to be assessed against this version of the
standards. The region has been fully accredited for a further three years,
following an assessment process in July.
(2)–(4) Not applicable.
