MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 397

Weston Creek Health Centre

MR BERRY - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts on notice on 17 April 1991:

(1) Which are the services moved from Weston Creek Health Centre that you said on ABC Radio on 2 April 1991 were "Territory wide" services.

(2) In the twelve months prior to the closing of the Health Centre what were the number of contact visits, by service, from residents of Weston Creek and also from non residents of Weston Creek.

MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to Mr Berrys question is:

The "Territory wide" services were psychiatry and social work. "Territory wide" services mean services delivered to a catchment area encompassing all of the ACT, as differentiated from services delivered to a local community.

The contact visits for the twelve month period prior to the closing of the Health Centre are:

Psychiatrist 1116

Psychologist 62

Dietitian 163

Podiatrist 582

Social Worker 45

Physiotherapist 3611

Immunisation 2064

Baby Health 561

The statistics do not differentiate between residents of Weston Creek and non residents.
