Health—Child specialists—Recruitment
126. Hon Donna Faragher to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the
article in The West Australian titled "Amber
Jade Sanderson says paediatrics is 'emotionally draining', as WA tries to
recruit more child specialists", which states:
… the Government had put in a
range of measures to meet increased child development demand, including funding
almost 100 extra staffing positions in the last budget. Of those, 48 have been
filled.
(1) Have all staffing positions now been filled
and, if not, how many have been filled to date?
(2) Can the minister provide a breakdown, by
position and FTE, of all staffing positions that have been filled?
