339. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I
refer to the response to question on notice 241 provided on 13 October 2021
regarding child health nurses, which states —
WA Health funded a number of NGOs
(predominately Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations) over $5 million
to provide child health services from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021.
(1) Has a new
funding agreement been entered into with non-government organisations to
provide child health nurse services?
(2) If yes to (1), what is the duration and total
amount of funding that has been allocated to this new agreement?
(3) If no to (1),
why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Not
applicable. The existing agreement applies until 31 December 2023.
