HEALTH — METROPOLITAN CHILD DEVELOPMENT SERVICE
405. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
The parliamentary secretary is a very
busy boy today, representing the Minister for Mental Health representing the
Minister for Health.
I refer to the Department of Health's
most recent workforce analysis undertaken to determine staffing requirements
needed within the metropolitan child development service to address current and
future demand.
(1) When was the last workforce
analysis undertaken?
(2) How many
additional FTE staff has this workforce analysis identified as being required
to meet current and future demand in the following categories —
(a) speech
pathology;
(b) occupational
therapy; and
(c) paediatric
services?
Hon KYLE McGINN
replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. This answer has been provided by the minister
representing the Minister for Health.
It is not possible to provide the
requested information in the time required, and I therefore ask the honourable
member to place this question on notice.
