HOSPITAL — STAFF
428. Mr R.H. COOK to the
Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister has
now confirmed there will be cuts, particularly in relation to the
activity-based funding model as per the National Healthcare Agreement, will the
minister now detail the number of staff, and from which hospitals, who will go
over the next 12 months as a result of the budget increases?

I think that question assumed an alternative answer. It made
absolutely no sense whatsoever.
There will be 1 000 additional staff south of the river.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Kwinana and Minister for Health, I call you both to order for the
first time.
