(a)(i-iv) Please refer to Attachment 1 for WA Country Health Service (WACHS). Please see tabled papers [...]
Please note that for question without notice No. 777, for question (3) WACHS incorrectly reported that the position of Clinical Nurse Specialist (Older Adult) was vacant. The correct position that should have been reported as vacant is the Health Professional Mental Health (Older Adults) position in the Midwest.
WACHS sincerely apologises for this reporting error.
