MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

City Health Centre

QUESTION NO 240

MR BERRY - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts upon notice on 16 August 1990:

(1) Does the Government plan to close the City Health Centre.

(2) Has the Government considered the redevelopment of the Health Authority site; and if so, for what purpose.

(3) Has the Government received any approaches from developers expressing interest in redevelopment of the Health Authority site; and if so, who made the approaches and what redevelopment was proposed.

MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to the members question is

(1) Since the introduction of the community health program in 1973, demographic needs in the ACT have changed. It is therefore necessary to reexamine service delivery to meet those needs.

The Government has instructed the ACT Community and Health Service to report on the future development of the community health centre system in the ACT by the end of the year.

We will be maximising our use of health professionals to increase the effectiveness of service delivery.

The Government has no plans at this stage to close the City Health Centre.

(2) The Government has not considered the redevelopment of the Health Authority site.

(3) The Government has not received any approaches from developers expressing interest in redevelopment of the Health Authority site.
