Answer as at 31 December 2015
(a-d) Broome Hospital and Nickol Bay Hospital security services are not provided by WA Health employees but through externally contracted services.
Onslow Hospital and Newman Hospital do not employ security staff or have externally contracted security services. Due to the small size of these hospitals, any security related incidents are responded to by WA Police.
