CORONAVIRUS — LONG COVID CLINIC
1263. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I
refer to the media statement issued on 31 October 2022 titled ''New
clinic opens for patients with long COVID-19 symptoms''.
(1) Given this
service is available only to those living in the East Metropolitan Health
Service catchment area, what services are
available to WA residents experiencing long COVID-19 symptoms outside this area,
including regional residents?
(2) Why was Bentley Health Service
selected as the site for this trial?
(3) What is the cost of the trial?
(4) What is the prevalence of long
COVID-19 in Western Australia?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. However, the minister requests that the member place the question on
notice.
