Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 836 asked in the Legislative Council on 26 October 2021 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

GERALDTON HEALTH CAMPUS

836. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the minister representing the Minister for Health:

I refer to claims from the Australian Nursing Federation this week regarding staff shortages in the midwest, as reported by ABC News on 25 October in an article titled, ''Nursing union says inexperienced staff are working in understaffed Geraldton ED''.

(1) What is the authorised nursing FTE level for Geraldton Regional Hospital?

(2) What is the current nursing FTE level for Geraldton Regional Hospital?

(3) How many staff at Geraldton Regional Hospital have been rostered for more than 80 hours in the last fortnight, and how many have been rostered for more than 100 hours?

(4) Noting the state government's $5.8 billion budget surplus, what specific measures is the minister taking to increase staffing levels at Geraldton Regional Hospital?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. It is not possible to provide the requested information in the time required and I therefore ask the honourable member to place this question on notice.
