Question - ACT Health

1. Given that the ACT Government's contract with Burrangiri Respite Centre is worth $1.7 million, and over a year Burrangiri provides in excess of 4,500 overnight respite days, making the cost of stay for one night $377, in comparison the average cost of admitted patient care for an admitted patient was $6,000 (2014-2025), has the Government considered the potential cost savings by retaining an excess of 4,500 overnight stays provided by Burrangiri.
2. How much does the ACT currently contribute, per day, for a patient in a residential setting for the Transition Care Program.
3. How many patients does the Transition Care Program support annually.
4. What are the anticipated costs arising from the lack of funding for Burrangiri Respite Centre.
