2510 - HOSPITAL SECURITY ACTION PLAN

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Health

When can we expect the Hospital Security Action Plan to deliver real, systemic change to the New South Wales health system so that staff and patients will be safe?
Answer -

NSW Health organisations take their Workplace Health and Safety obligations seriously. NSW Health already has a comprehensive policy and legislative framework facilitating a system wide approach to security to ensure that staff, patients and those who interact with the NSW health system are safe.

Work has commenced to progress the Hospital Security 12-point Action Plan which is intended to address emerging issues around security in hospital emergency departments, such as the increasing prevalence of presentations involving "ice" and other psycho stimulants, and ensure NSW Health's policies and practices remain robust and responsive to these emerging issues.
