Children and young people—Child and Adolescent Clinical Services Plan 2023-2030
Ministerial statement
MS STEPHEN-SMITH (Kurrajong—Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, Minister for Families and Community Services and Minister for Health) (10.02): I rise today to provide a further update on the work of the Child and Adolescent Clinical Services Expert Panel and the final Child and Adolescent Clinical Services Plan. The expert panel has done an enormous amount of work to consider the range of child and adolescent health needs in the ACT, including undertaking substantial consultation with stakeholders across the health and broader care system. It has now finalised the plan for children and adolescents accessing health services in the ACT, with the vision to see “children, adolescents and their families have easy access to a caring, inclusive and high quality health system in the ACT that enables them to live their best and healthiest lives” now and in the future.
