NURSES
AND MIDWIVES — DOUBLE SHIFTS
652. Hon STEVE MARTIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the practice of double shifts being undertaken by
WA nurses and midwives.
(1) Over the
last week, how many nurses undertook a double shift at Queen Elizabeth II
Medical Centre?
(2) Over the
last week, how many nurses undertook a double shift at Fiona Stanley Hospital?

AnswerView source ↗

I am sure that the honourable member is seeking information
for entirely reasonable purposes, but if he thinks about the logistics of it,
hundreds of shifts would have been performed over those two hospitals in the
past week. Expecting that information within four hours is not a reasonable
request and so the minister has requested that the member place his question on
notice.
