Answers to questions
Hospitals—bed categories
(Question No 1745)
Mrs Burke asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 13 November 2007:
(1) What are the different categories of hospital beds in the public hospital system in the ACT;
(2) How many beds were there in each of those categories listed in part (1) in each year from 1990 to 2007.
Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Public hospital beds are categorised as “Number of public acute and psychiatric hospitals and available beds, by hospital size, states and territories” and reported annually in the “Australian Hospital Statistics” Report. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) publish this report and the data is presented on a financial year basis and the latest data available is 2005-06.
(2) This data is presented in the table below.
