MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY CARE

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No. 296

Canberra Hospital - Non-Inpatient Statistics

Mr Berry - asked the Minister for Health and Community Care upon notice on 3 September 1996:

In relation to figures provided on non-inpatient services in the monthly activity reports (between period from February 1995 to June 1996) for Woden Valley Hospital, that were presented to the Assembly can you (as only preliminary - not final - figures were provided) provide, for each month, the final figures for non-inpatient statistics?

MRS CARNELL - the answer to the Member's question is:

. The monthly activity data for non-inpatient services at Woden Valley Hospital for the period between February 1995 to June 1996 is attached.

. `0' entries in the tables relate to clinics that are active and routinely record statistics but have not submitted their figures by the cut-off time. Occasionally, clinics have no activity for the month. It should be noted that when clinics do send their statistics after the cut-off time, the figures are updated in the year to date column.

. The Canberra Hospital, as it is now called, is operating at a capacity never witnessed before. In 1995-96, the hospital recorded an increase of 4,834 in the number of people seen in its non-inpatient setting, the Emergency Department, compared to the previous year.

. Clinics that have not been collecting data have been removed from the tables.
