Westmead Hospital stabbing doorstop

HSU < 1 mins read

HSU NSW SECRETARY GERARD HAYES, 1030, 109 PITT STREET SYDNEY

In response to news three security guards and a nurse have been attacked:

Gerard Hayes HSU NSW secretary said:

“This senseless violence is horrifying. For the workers on the receiving end, the trauma will continue long after the physical scars have healed.  For the last decade we have had shootings, stabbings and flesh torn from the bodies of our members. 

“We have argued consistently for greater security numbers and powers, and will continue to push for this and better personal protective equipment. It is frustrating and mystifying that so many of the recommendations  of the Anderson Inquiry into hospital security are yet to be implemented.”
