Health portfolio—staff safety
Mr Rattenbury (in reply to a supplementary question by Mrs Dunne on Tuesday, 27 November 2018):
No. Within the ACT Health Incident Management System – Riskman - there are two classifications which may provide data related to clients or visitors being hit by moving objects:
1. The classification titled “Being hit by moving objects”; and
2. The classification titled “Non-Clinical/Facility – Hazards – Other”.
There are not separate registers within these classifications for clients and visitors.
Canberra Hospital—radiology department
Ms Fitzharris (in reply to supplementary questions by Mrs Dunne and Mr Milligan on Tuesday, 27 November 2018):
(1) There were no impacts on clinical care.
(2) The backlog was cleared in a little over a week. This was achieved in part by offering additional hours to radiologists for reporting, and by sending CT scans to the offsite provider for reporting. These practices can be repeated at times of high demand to avoid backlogs in future.
