Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 675 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 August 2022 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

HEALTH — STAFF — RECRUITMENT

675. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to question on notice 409 asked on 16 December 2021, relating to the Belong recruitment campaign, to which the minister stated —

An evaluation of the WA Health Belong recruitment campaign is planned for the first half of 2022.

(1) Has a review of the Belong recruitment campaign been completed?

(2) If yes to (1), can the minister please table the review?

(3) If no to (1), what is the expected completion date for this review?

(4) Can the minister please provide a breakdown of funding for the Belong campaign and how it has been disbursed, including to which jurisdictions and/or markets?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes. A mid-campaign evaluation report has been completed for the first stage of the Belong campaign covering October 2021 to June 2022.

(2) I table the mid-campaign report.

[See paper 1493.]

(3) Not applicable.

(4) Provision of additional budget information sought by the member would divert WA Health staff away from their normal duties and is not possible at this time. However, a budget breakdown by media placement, creative production and post-campaign research is provided below. That information is in tabular form so I seek leave to have the response incorporated into Hansard.
