5921 - JOHN HUNTER HOSPITAL SECURITY INCIDENTS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Health, and Minister for Medical Research

How many incidents requiring the intervention of security staff occurred at the John Hunter Hospital in the 12 months to June 2014?

Answer -

I am advised:

Data shows that security has been called on 1216 occasions at John Hunter Hospital between July 2013 and June 2014.

Data is not available to identify the number of times security staff were required to assist after being called.

Security staff are part of a team that is called to assist when a 'code black' is called. Security staff may also be called on for a range of issues outside their involvement in code black teams, such as where there are reports of theft, or to provide information or assistance to visitors.

Staff are encouraged to seek code black assistance early, before a situation escalates.
