ALBANY HEALTH CAMPUS
51. Hon
JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Health:
I refer to the Albany Health
Campus.
(1) Has the
government commenced activities to expand the Albany Health Campus to reduce
employee stress and build capacity?
(2) When will the government
announce when and how the Albany hospital will be expanded?
(3) Has the minister received an
update about workplace culture and fatigue at Albany hospital?
(4) If yes to (3), will the
minister table any such reports; and, if not, why not?

(1)–(4) Supporting
regional health workers and ensuring their safety at work remains a priority
for WA Country Health Service and the state government. In December 2022,
Albany Health Campus was reaccredited under the National Safety and Quality
Health Care Standards and achieved all standards. In the event a business case
is submitted about a potential capital works project, such documents would be
considered cabinet-in-confidence.
