This morning, I was made aware of an utterly disgusting video circulating on social media. NSW Health immediately launched an investigation and contacted NSW Police, who are also investigating.
The appalling comments and hate speech from the individuals in this video do not represent, and never have, the views or values of NSW Health - this includes the 180,000 dedicated, caring and kind people who make up our workforce.
NSW Health is committed to fostering an environment of respect and inclusivity. We are proud to provide safe, compassionate and high-quality care to all people across the diverse communities of NSW we serve.
We understand this disturbing video has caused distress. I can assure you we are treating this matter incredibly seriously.
There is absolutely no place in NSW Health for these views or behaviour.
NSW Health condemns the views expressed and behaviour demonstrated in this video and I assure everyone that every person in NSW receives safe, respectful care in our hospitals and health services.
