(1) No individual $500,000 annual scholarship was awarded. The Department of Health does provide nurses and midwives with scholarships to undertake postgraduate clinical courses. The numbers and amount of the scholarships awarded each year varies based on the number of applicants and the costs of the courses. In 2006, the scholarships awarded varied from $824 to $10,240. The following table provides information on the number of postgraduate scholarships awarded per annum: Year Total Postgraduate Scholarships 2000 85 2001 96 2002 109 2003 105 2004 117 2005 126 2006 220 (2) (a) - (f) Data not available as the scholarship scheme does not require employment bonding. The nursing scholarship scheme was established to increase the overall number of nurses available to meet workforce needs in specialty areas. This was undertaken as the cost of postgraduate education was prohibitive to nurses, which led to workforce deficits in clinical specialisation. Since the introduction of the nursing scholarship scheme there has been an increase in the number of nurses with clinical specialisation skills and qualifications. At the time of awarding the scholarship the recipients must have worked for at least two years in nursing or midwifery and be employed in the public health system. During and on completion of their course the recipients were employed in the public health system. Conditions of the scholarship require that the recipient must demonstrate course completion and is not related to employment bonding. Of the 126 scholarship recipients in 2005: · all 126 were working in the public health system. · 121 are currently registered with the Nurses Board of Western Australia. · 104 remain working within the public health system. In 2006, there are currently 220 scholarship recipients that are working in the state public health system.
