Question Without Notice No. 136 asked in the Legislative Council on 20 February 2020 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

HOSPITALS — REGIONAL — SAFETY

136. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to Legislative Council question without notice 1291 about measures to stop hospital violence and aggression.

(1) Can the minister please provide a breakdown, by site, of the $2.8 million under ''Capital Funding'' and the $2.1 million under ''Recurrent Funding'' allocated to the WA Country Health Service?

(2) How many security staff, by FTE, have been approved to each of the identified WACHS sites?

(3) How much has been allocated to CCTV at each of the identified WACHS sites?

Hon ALANNA CLOHESY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I note this information is current from when the question was asked on Thursday, 13 February.

(1) The capital funding allocation by site, noting that some allocations are across groups of facilities, with individual site allocations to be determined, is in tabular form with a dollar value for each site. I seek leave to have this part of the question incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.
