Healthcare Sector Workers

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:51): Supplementary: what engagement has the minister had with the union to ensure that medical services are not impacted during any planned strikes?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:51): I thank the honourable member for her question. I know that officials from the state government, from the Industrial Relations and Policy branch of state government, from the health sector and a number of ministers regularly engage with unions on a whole range of matters.
