Health System Capacity

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:12): Supplementary arising from the answer: can the minister advise if it is common practice for nurses at the Women's and Children's to work double shifts?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:12): There are times when workplaces will ask their staff to undertake extended hours. That's always done in consultation with the staff, and I appreciate nurses and other health professionals stepping up when they are able to do so.
