Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Nurse Staffing Levels Nurse Staffing Levels The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Nurse Staffing Levels The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:35): A supplementary arising from the original answer: is the minister suggesting that the nurses' federation is incorrect in suggesting the CALHN report recommended cutting 100 nursing shifts? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Nurse Staffing Levels The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:35): I'm certainly referring to the CALHN nursing workforce model. As I said, my understanding is that that is not about a reduction in FTE. It may well mean a reduction of shifts in particular wards in terms of nursing shifts, but it's in the context of a varied model of care in the context of the COVID response.
