Question
I refer to the Mid West Development Commission initiated Mid West Health and Wellbeing Strategy, and I ask:
(a) is the strategy complete and will the Minister table the strategy; and
(b) does the Government support the strategy?
Answered on 27 June 2018
(a) – (b) A draft Strategy was prepared under the previous government by the Mid West Development Commission and the WA Country Health Service. I am advised that the Strategy was not endorsed by either the former Minister for Health or the former Minister for Regional Development.
The McGowan Labor Government’s health priorities in the Mid West are set out in WA Labor’s Plan for Geraldton. These include redevelopment of Geraldton Health Campus and the provision of mental health services.
