669. Hon
JAMES HAYWARD to the minister representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to staffing at regional
hospitals.
(1) Is the
minister aware of any requests for additional staff from the Geraldton,
Manjimup, Margaret River, Busselton, Albany and/or Bunbury hospitals?
(2) If yes to (1), how many
additional staff were requested by each location?
(3) How many shifts were dropped or
not covered at each of the locations listed in (1) in —
(a) May;
(b) June;
(c) July; and
(d) August?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
In my copy, part (3) states —
(a) May 2021
(b) June 2021
(c) July 2021
(d) August 2021.
That is different from the question
the member asked.
Nonetheless, it is not possible to
provide the requested information in the time required and I therefore ask the
honourable member to place this question on notice.
