MIDLAND PUBLIC HOSPITAL — SWAN DISTRICT
HOSPITAL STAFF
1345. Hon ALANNA CLOHESY to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
(1) Listed by
employment category, how many Swan District Hospital staff applied for work at
the new St John of God–operated Midland Public Hospital, and how many
of those have been offered roles?
(2) Why were
there no compulsory staff transition quotas specified in the management
contract for the new Midland hospital, as is standard practice in many similar
private–public contracts across Western Australia?
(3) Is St John
of God acting in accordance with contract terms and conditions in employing
overseas labour in preference to employing local staff?
(4) If the
Minister for Health is unable to confirm that many Swan hospital staff will not
receive positions at the new campus, will he undertake to determine the status
of these workers as a matter of urgency?

Hon Alanna Clohesy : It is C1447.
Hon ALYSSA HAYDEN : I do not have it at all. Did the member
lodge it today?
Hon Alanna Clohesy : Yes.
Hon ALYSSA HAYDEN : I did not even see it today to sign off on
it. I will have a look and see whether we can find it before the end of
question time, and if I can I will bring it forward.
