144 Department of Health Output Group: Health and Wellbeing Services Outcome: Maintaining and enhancing the health and wellbeing of Territorians through a range of preventive, health promoting, early intervention, treatment and support services. Output Group/Output 2011-12 Budget 2011-12 Estimate 2012-13 Budget $000 $000 $000 Health and Wellbeing Services 323 874 375 071 371 963 Community Health Services 171 873 200 629 196 749 Mental Health Services 47 984 49 192 52 983 Community Support Services for Frail Aged People and People with a Disability 84 211 103 159 98 141 Support for Senior Territorians and Pensioner Concessions 19 806 22 091 24 090 Key Variations The Health and Wellbeing output group increased in 2011-12 mainly due to an additional $12.7million for Individual Support Packages to assist clients in the community with exceptional and complex needs, $23.7million in additional Commonwealth funding for Community Health Services and an additional $5million under the National Disability agreement. The output group decreases in 2012-13 predominantly due to timing of Commonwealth agreements, which are yet to be finalised. This is partly offset by an increase of $4.6million to the Pensioner Concession Scheme. Community Health Services These services build the capacity of the community to maintain and improve health through education, prevention, early intervention and access to culturally appropriate assessment, treatment and support services. Medical, nursing, Aboriginal health, allied health, oral health, nutrition, and breast and cervical cancer screenings are provided through government and non-government providers in a number of settings including community care centres, 54 government-managed and 30 non-government-managed rural health centres, clinics, schools and in the home.
