MIDWIVES — PILBARA
718. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the minister undertake to investigate that particular issue to ensure that
that service does not fall over, given that the health department itself says
it is at imminent risk of failing, and this was on 27 October?

AnswerView source ↗

Again, the WA Country Health
Service is doing an outstanding job to make sure that we have world-class
health care regardless of where people live.
That is true not only for patients who are ill or injured, but also for people
who are looking to give birth in our health system. I admire the great
work they do. We will continue to make sure that we can recruit the doctors,
nurses and midwives that we need so we can continue to provide world-class
health care.
