MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION TAKEN ON NOTICE ON 14 MARCH 1991

Psychiatric Day Care Centre

MRS GRASSBY - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts:

Will the Psychiatric Day Centre services currently shared with the Psychiatric Unit at Woden be duplicated at the new location, or will the users of the day care unit have to go without these services in this new location? Will the clients have all the services such as the bus that is used for touring to areas for these people, and every other service?

MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to Mrs Grassbys questions is:

I understand core services currently provided at the Woden Psychiatric Day Centre will continue to be provided at the same level in the new day centre location. In particular, clients will have good access to a bus service and kitchen facilities will also be provided.

In addition, the day centre over the last two years has placed more emphasis on developing independence in clients. Services previously provided through the hospital such as midday meals and pharmaceuticals were discontinued some time ago to allow clients to manage more independently.
