Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 648 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 September 2021 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — HOTEL QUARANTINE — STAFF VACCINATIONS

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

I refer to question without notice 562 asked in this place on 19 August 2021 and the state government's deadline of 10 May for hotel quarantine workers to be fully vaccinated.

(1) How many workers are currently employed in the hotel quarantine system?

(2) How many workers in the hotel quarantine system are not fully vaccinated?

(3) Why have the workers identified in (1) been permitted to work in the hotel quarantine system despite not receiving both doses of a COVID-19 vaccination?

(4) Has the Chief Health Officer or Vaccine Commander provided any advice regarding permitting workers who are not fully vaccinated to work in the hotel quarantine system; and, if so, please detail the advice?

(5) Please table any directions or orders issued and subsequently amended, if necessary, regarding mandatory vaccination of hotel quarantine workers.

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

It was a long question and indeed will require some information. I have been advised that further time is required to answer this question. The information will be provided to the honourable member by 9 September 2021.
