110 Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (12 September 2023). In Budget Paper 4, Volume 2, page 60—Dot point three under targets for 2023-24 states that a review will be undertaken of policies and procedures to facilitate the recruitment and retention of a more diverse workforce. Does the MFS have a staff retention issue and if so, have reasons been identified for this?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services): I have been advised:

The MFS does not have a 'staff retention issue'.
