1. How much Commonwealth funding has been provided to the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service to reduce waiting lists?

2. What is the Elective Surgery Strategy Stage 3 program for the Children, Youth and Women's Health Service?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

1. The Women's and Children's Health Network (WCHN) received $743,400 in Commonwealth funding to reduce waiting lists through the Elective Surgery Waiting List Plan strategy.

2. The aim of the Commonwealth Elective Surgery Strategy Stage 3 Program for the WCHN is to increase the volume of Elective Surgery and to meet performance targets for wait times as per Commonwealth requirements.
