1629. Hon Alison Xamon to the parliamentary secretary representing the Deputy Premier; Minister for Health; Mental Health:
I refer to the consultation liaison services at Joondalup Health Campus, and I ask:
(a) how much dedicated psychiatric nurse FTE was allocated to the consultation liaison service, as at 1 July 2018;
(b) how much dedicated psychiatrist FTE was allocated to the consultation liaison service, as at 1 July 2018; and
(c) how much dedicated registrar FTE was allocated to the consultation liaison service, as at 1 July 2018?
Hon Alanna Clohesy replied:
(a)–(c) Nil. Joondalup Health Campus does not have FTE dedicated only to a Psychiatric Consultation Liaison Service. Psychiatric Consultation at Joondalup Health Campus is available on 24 hours a day 7 days a week on an “as requested basis”. The service includes a combination of Psychiatric Consultant and Registrar and Nursing coverage.
