Information pertains to 13-19 June 2023
(a) 8.9 FTE at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and 4.58 FTE at Perth Children’s Hospital.
(b) 8 FTE at Fiona Stanley Hospital.
Please note that due to the limited capacity of Health Service Providers payroll systems, the information included may unintentionally capture shifts which had overtime hours performed at the end of a shift, which may not have been a ‘double shift’.
