00:00We are rolling out ratios across NSW hospitals.
00:05Today we announced an additional 12 sites,
00:09taking the total to date over the first 15 months
00:12to 16 hospitals that will be moving or have moved
00:16to 1 to 3 in emergency departments.
00:19That makes an enormous difference.
00:22This is the largest single reform of the way in which we staff our hospitals in NSW.
00:28It will see an additional 2,500 nurses and midwives
00:32come into the system over the next few years.
00:35We are going to back the men and women who resource and staff our hospitals
00:39because we know when we back them we deliver better healthcare for our communities,
00:44we deliver safer healthcare for our communities
00:47and we help to attract and retain nurses and midwives
00:50as well as other allied healthcare workers to our profession.
00:54And that is the focus.
