WA COUNTRY HEALTH SERVICE — NURSES
93. Ms L. METTAM to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the Premier guarantee to the house that every nurse in WA who wants a job
with WA Health will be able to get one?

AnswerView source ↗

Obviously, we welcome nurses who
want to take up a great career working in one of the best health systems in the
world. That is why we have been recruiting, hand over fist, to make sure that
we take the opportunity to ensure we have more nurses working in our system. I expect
the health service providers will continue in that vein to make sure they can
attract people into our hospitals so that we can continue to provide
world-class health care.
