URGENT CARE CLINICS — DATA COLLECTION

796. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to the state government's urgent care clinic trial and question on notice 463, answered on 22 February 2022.

(1) Has the government finalised the end-of-pilot analysis and report that was due to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021?

(2) If no to (1), what date is this report expected to be finalised?

(3) If yes to (1), will the minister please table the report?

(4) What progress has the government made on its election commitment to deliver urgent care clinics in Geraldton, the Pilbara, Albany, the Kimberley and Kalgoorlie?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

(1) Yes. The government has finalised the evaluation of the general practitioner urgent care network pilot.

(2) Not applicable.

(3) No. The government is yet to consider the analysis and findings of the report.

(4) The McGowan government delivered on its 2017 urgent care clinics election commitment through the implementation of the GPUC network pilot in the metropolitan area as well as in Peel, Bunbury, Busselton and Collie–Preston, as named regional areas to the commitment. Opportunities to address other regional area needs will continue to be developed based on ongoing strategic alignment with the sustainable health review and further health planning activities, including the emergency access response program.
