workforce'', which states —
Western Australia's current
recruitment drive has already seen almost 1,000 new nurses and midwives join
the WA Health system since January this year.

2021, how many nurses and midwives, by FTE, were employed in the WA health
system?
(2) Currently, how many nurses and
midwives, by FTE, are employed in the WA health system?
(3) Of the almost 1 000 nurses and
midwives recruited since January, how many have been recruited —
