I refer to the Minister for Health's

was the request made to the Chief Health Officer for this modelling?
(2) Who made the
request?
(3) Will the
minister table a copy of the request?
(4) When is the
requested task expected to be complete?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
There are a few questions in the
honourable member's name. Can the member give me a number?
Hon Nick Goiran: It is 090.
Hon SUE ELLERY: I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The
Department of Health has been collating data to inform modelling of the impact
of Omicron since the variant was detected in
Australia. The modelling is now complete and has been uploaded to the WA government
webpage.
