WA COUNTRY HEALTH SERVICE
— STAFF
795. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the
Minister for Health:
I refer to recent reports and direct
concerns raised by employees of the WA Country Health Service that staff are
burnt out, afraid for their personal security and overworked.
(1) Separately,
how many resignations, notice of resignations or requests for redundancy have
been put to WACHS by employees between 1 July
2021 and 13 October 2021 in the local government areas of Broome, Derby,
West Kimberley, Wyndham, East Kimberley and Port Hedland?
(2) How many
staff by number and per cent have refused to either be vaccinated or report
their vaccination status to WACHS?
(3) Have any
termination payments been made to any WACHS employee in the local government
areas that are listed, in 2020–21 and to 13 October this financial
year?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer is provided on behalf of the
Minister for Health.
I have been advised that further
time is required to answer the question. Information will be provided to the
honourable member by 28 October 2021.
