Mental Health North – Launceston Reception Prison

The ANMF has been contacted by members working at the Launceston Reception Prison (LRP) regarding a change to the way medication will be obtained for nurses to administer within the LRP. Members advised that this change has been made with limited consultation and has the potential to create an unsafe working environment. As a result, the ANMF has written to Mental Health Service management, on behalf of members, requesting a formal change proposal be developed and consultation occurs as per the Award entitlement.
