I have a supplementary
question. My question referred specifically to country hospitals. Has the
minister been briefed by the WA
Country Health Service and directed it to immediately address the concerns of
workers in those hospitals who claim that their workplace is unsafe?

Unlike those opposite, I think
those workers are all Western Australians, whether they work in the country or
metropolitan area. Our recruitment drive is about making sure that all
hospitals in Western Australia have the resources they need and the workforce
they need.
Mr R.S. Love : So the answer
is no; you have not been briefed by WACHS?
Mr R.H. COOK : That was not
my answer. All our hospitals will benefit from our recruitment drive and from
the extra resources that we will provide as a result of this budget, not just
country hospitals. We consider all hospitals to be an important part of our
healthcare service.
