International Nurses Day
Mr ATKINSON (Eastern Metropolitan) (10:27): At a time when we are obviously facing significant health challenges in our services for Victorians, and of course over the past two years the extraordinary challenges to that system, it is important to recognise International Nurses Day today and the extraordinary commitment and dedication of so many people in our health services and hospitals but particularly those nurses who have been very much at the front line of our response to the COVID challenge and who indeed provide support and comfort as much as clinical care to so many Victorians when they are facing difficult circumstances with their health and of course to those people that care for them, also looking after them.
