Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 228 asked in the Legislative Council on 23 March 2022 by Hon Steve Martin

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

HOSPITALS — MATERNITY BYPASSES

228. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to hospital bypass events in which hospitals divert patients to alternative locations due to capacity issues, workforce shortages and other strains on our healthcare system.

(1) For each of the months from September 2021 to February 2022, how many maternity bypasses occurred across the metropolitan area?

(2) For the same period, were there any maternity bypasses in the WA Country Health Service; and, if so, how many were there in each of the months listed above?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. 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.
