FREMANTLE HOSPITAL — CUTS TO FRONT-LINE SERVICES
I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister guarantee that there will be no reduction in nursing shifts in hospitals and that there will be no increase in patient loads for nursing staff? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

What I guarantee is that this government will make every possible effort, including contacting directly all the nurses in this state, to make sure that regardless of whatever changes are made within our hospital system to achieve greater efficiency, patients will not be affected.
