Shepparton electorate
Ms SHEED (Shepparton) (14:47): (6272) My question is for the Minister for Health. I am advised that a constituent recently contacted Goulburn Valley Health to ascertain the status of a waitlist in relation to her child who is awaiting a child developmental and behavioural assessment. The child had been on the waiting list for 12 months, and she said that she was told that there were over 400 children on the waiting list. Minister, could you advise what the current waiting time is for a child to obtain a developmental and behavioural assessment at Goulburn Valley Health, how many children are on the waiting list and what the government is doing to address the long waiting time?
