As I said in my earlier remarks, we heard from people working
on the front line and we will continue to be informed by the people who work on
the front line to make sure that we are putting in place the sort of
investments that make sense for their hospital. When the WA Country Health
Service, working with the leadership at Geraldton hospital, continues to look
at what it wants to see put in place, we can respond appropriately because we
now have the investment in there and we know that we are continuing to work to
improve the safety of all people working in our hospital system.
