During Parliament question time on Tuesday, Clark independent MHA Madeleine Ogilvie said she wrote to the health minister on October 9 asking her to commit to the ongoing funding of Palliative Care Tasmania.

"Palliative Care Tasmania is the only state-based palliative care peak organisation not funded by its state government," Ms Ogilvie said.

"Palliative Care has indicated they need ongoing funding of $500,000 per annum through a five year contract to enable them to deliver these critical services to Tasmanians."

Ms Courtney said she wanted to assure Ms Ogilvie she would continue to engage constructively with Palliative Care Tasmania.

"The Hodgman majority Liberal government has provided significant support for a number of groups and organisations to deliver important community-based palliative and end of life care initiatives," Ms Courtney said.

Ms Courtney said the Mersey Community Hospital redevelopment would see dedicated palliative care beds in the medical ward commencing in early 2020.

"We will continue to work with Palliative Care Tasmania as well as a number of other community organisations," she said.
