Mr Kaine: Mr Speaker, I request that any further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Hospital Services
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I want to answer a question which I took on notice in question time on 30 April. Mr Moore asked me about the number of level 4 nurses available in the ACT public hospital system.
The answer to Mr Moore's question is as follows: In Mr Berry's time there were 27 level 4 nurses. The nurses career structure review, which was conducted in 1990, recommended that the optimum number of level 4 nurses for the principal hospital was 11. The recommendations of the review have since been implemented, with a total of 11 level 4 positions being filled at both campuses of Royal Canberra Hospital in the following areas: One education, seven clinical and three management. Calvary Hospital has two level 4 positions, these being one in the management stream and one in the education stream.
So, Mr Speaker, in short, the answer is that the Government has achieved the considerably reduced number of level 4 nurses in the ACT public hospital system which we promised on taking office.
SMALL CLAIMS (AMENDMENT) BILL 1991
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (3.08), by leave: Mr Speaker, I present the Small Claims (Amendment) Bill 1991. I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
The Bill is to complete the Landlord and Tenant (Amendment) Bill 1991 and facilitates the payment of moneys in respect of bond disputes under a judgment or order of the Small Claims Court. In practice, the Bill will allow the court to make a direction to the Director of Rental Bonds on how bond moneys, in cases of dispute, may be paid to tenants and landlords in accordance with the judgment. Mr Speaker, this is a consequential amendment of a machinery nature. I present the explanatory memorandum, and commend the Bill to the house.
Debate (on motion by Mrs Grassby) adjourned.
