SURVEY RESULTS — SERVICE PROVIDERS
Health and Community Services
The service provider survey asked respondents the following question: "As a service provider, how satisfied are you with the provision of Health and Community Services (including GP, medical services, home care, home help such as gardening and shopping) in the Shire of Goomalling?" None of the four respondents were dissatisfied with the provision of health and community services. All were either satisfied, very satisfied or declined to answer.
Comments indicated that feedback from Goomalling residents “who utilise these services are mostly positive.” Negative comments passed on to service providers are related to the following:
an inability or unwillingness to pay
an expectation for services to be provided immediately; and
a lack of organisation by the residents themselves.

Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
Service providers were either ‘neither satisfied nor dissatisfied’ or ‘satisfied’ with the Shire’s current provision of outdoor spaces and buildings. Comments regarded the need for more public open space, an increase in the provision of playgrounds. Another person commented on the need for increased access into public buildings and the improvements of footpaths for those who use gophers.
