Can the minister say, since he won't answer the question about a savings target, how many staff have been cut from the hospital since redundancies of staff began at the Women's and Children's Hospital under this government?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:48):</by>  I'm certainly happy to get an up-to-date figure, but the most recent figure that I have received in relation to WCHN staff is that 14 staff have been granted a voluntary separation package. I just remind the honourable members that the network has almost more than 2,700 staff, so 14 staff wanting to take up an offer of a package, I believe, is relatively small.</text>
