Canberra Hospital—discharge policy
(Question No 2662)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 16 August 2019:
(1) How many people under the age of 18 years were discharged from The Canberra Hospital without notifying their parents or legal guardian/carer at the time of discharge for (a) 2017-18 and (b) 2018-19.
(2) Under what circumstances can The Canberra Hospital discharge a minor without notifying their parent or legal guardian/carer at the time of discharge.
Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The decision to notify parents or legal guardians is a medical one, and any record of the decision may be contained within individual patient records. It would be too administratively intensive to review each individual patient file to ascertain this information.
(2) The decision to discharge a child or young person is a medical one. Decisions around discharges may involve discussions with parents/legal guardian or other relevant agencies, depending on the specific circumstances of the child or young person.
