Ms CARTER - 2002-11-27
Last year, 213 of your staff were assaulted while at work. Can you advise the Chamber how many nurses have been assaulted so far this year?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, violence is a very serious matter, as I mentioned earlier, and there have been significant numbers of violent attacks over the years in my department. I will have to get back to you on the exact numbers throughout the department from the beginning of July to this point in time. Obviously, there are issues in relation to hospitals as well as communities, and it is not the kind of thing which I personally am keeping individual details on. However, I know the department is and I will get back to you.
