My question too is to Senator Nash, the Minister representing the Minister for Health. On 3 May 2016, when Senator Nash was the Minister for Rural Health, a motion moved by Senator Xenophon was passed, which noted the tragic death of South Australian woman, Gayle Woodford, who worked as a remote area nurse in the APY Lands in South Australia. The motion called on the government to (1) immediately review the adequacy of current safety measures for remote area nurses; (2) abolish single nurse posts in remote areas, or mitigate the risks they pose; (3) implement a policy that remote area nurses attend out-of-hours emergencies in pairs; (4) require that all emergency services vehicles be fitted with GPS technology; and (5) allocate the necessary funding. Can you please advise what action has been taken by the government to carry out the terms of that motion?
