In the answer to question without notice 658, asked on Tuesday, 20 September 2005, the minister replied that six full-time staff care for five residents at Whitby Falls Hostel. I understand that additional staff provide kitchen, housekeeping and other services to care for the five residents. I ask again - (1) How many full-time equivalent staff care for the five residents? (2) How many of the staff in (1) were working at Whitby Falls Hostel in May 2005, and how many staff - (a) continue to work at the hostel; (b) have been sacked; (c) have been stood down pending further action; (d) have been transferred to other work in the public sector; or (e) have resigned? (3) In the past four years, how many residents have died while still at Whitby Falls Hostel? Hon SUE ELLERY
