The ANMF met with members at the LGH and King Meadows to discuss the proposed benchmarking completed on 29 April 2023. Members have provided feedback on the proposal which detailed an increase of staffing for the PM shift at the LGH and consideration for a nurse practitioner at Kings Meadows. The ANMF will now seek to reconvene a meeting with the THS to discuss these matters. Further updates to follow.
