HEALTH — NURSES —
WORKFORCE
357. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the number of registered
and enrolled nurses working in the WA public health system.
(1) How many
resignations and/or departures of registered and enrolled nurses across all
health service areas in the WA public health system were there between 1 December
2021 and 1 May 2022?
(2) Of those
resignations and/or departures how many were on part-time, casual and full-time
contracts?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) For the
period 1 December 2021 to 1 May 2022, 1 787 registered and enrolled nurses
across all health services areas in the WA public health system have resigned.
Over the same period, 3 366 registered and enrolled nurses commenced employment
within the WA health system.
(2) The table
below shows the number of resignations for enrolled and registered nurses by
contract type of casual, part-time or full-time. The numbers represent
headcount rather than FTE.
That information is in tabular form
and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.
[Leave granted for the following
material to be incorporated.]
