27. Hon
ROBIN SCOTT to the minister representing the Minister for Health:
I
refer to comments made at a recent meeting of local governments in the
Murchison region of Western Australia that poor facilities and a lack of adequate staff at regional nursing posts
remains a problem, as it has been for many years.
(1) Does the state government have
any plans to increase the funding made available to the nursing posts?
(2) Does the
state government have any plans to increase staffing levels at the posts,
including the prescribing of minimum staffing levels?

I do not have that answer in my
folder and I did not see it lodged today. I have a copy of the questions that
were lodged but that was not one of the ones I saw. We will check. If it was
not lodged, the member might want to lodge it tomorrow. If it was lodged, I will
get an answer for the member tomorrow.
