Women's and Children's Hospital

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:48): Given that my question was about hospitals, I'm not quite sure why the minister would think that.

The PRESIDENT: Well, that's pretty broad.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Indeed, very broad. Thank you, Mr President. I appreciate your support there. 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?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:48): 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.
