WA Country Health Service—Nursing shifts—South West
680. Hon Michelle Boylan to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to South West casual and agency nursing shifts.
(1) Has any budget reduction been applied to casual or agency nursing in the WA Country Health Service for 2025–26 compared with 2024–25?
(2) If not, can the minister confirm that the total funding allocation for casual and agency nursing in WACHS for 2025–26 matches the allocation in 2024–25?
Hon Pierre Yang replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following has been provided by the Minister for Health.
(1)–(2) Nurse staffing levels for WA Country Health Service facilities are determined in line with clinical and operational requirements.
