HEALTH WORKER (RESTRICTIONS ON ACCESS) DIRECTIONS
802. Hon
MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the minister representing the Minister for Health:
I
refer to the Health Worker (Restrictions on Access) Directions and reporting by The West Australian on 12 October that these directions are not
being adhered to.
(1) Can the
minister confirm that all workers in tier 1 facilities were required to produce
evidence of having received their first
vaccination by 1 October to continue working in tier 1 facilities, as required
by the directions?
(2) If no to (1),
why not, and what is the minister doing to ensure compliance with the
directions?
(3) How many
healthcare workers currently working in tier 1 facilities did not produce
evidence of their vaccination status as of 1 October?
(4) Has the
Department of Health terminated, suspended, or in any other way penalised
healthcare workers for failing to comply with the directions; and, if so,
please provide details?
