Question

I refer to question on notice 2872, regarding code blacks in regional hospitals, and I ask:
(a) what is the reason for the significant increase of 89 code blacks at Albany hospital since September 2019 to March 2020, compared to zero in the six month prior;
(b) what allocation of the "increased funding to stop hospital violence and aggression" was allocated to Albany hospital for security FTE and capital investment; and
(c) what is the current security FTE at Albany hospital?

Answered on 14 October 2020

I am advised:

(a) The code black incidents reported in Legislative Council Question on Notice 2872 for the period September 2019 to March 2020 were subject to an audit. The actual number of code black incidents for the period was three. There has been no significant increase in code black incidents for the period.

(b) Nil for the 2019/20 period.

(c) 5.2 FTE as reported for the pay period ending on 30 August 2020.
