The NSW government has released the final version of a state-wide report into improvements to security in hospitals, concluding an investigation by former Labor health and police minister Peter Anderson that began in November 2018.

After consultation with unions, police and frontline staff from 44 hospitals including Wagga Base, the Anderson Review made 107 recommendations which NSW health minister Brad Hazzard said were "generally supported".

The Murrumbidgee Local Health District declined an interview request and would not comment on the report, instead directing The Daily Advertiser to a statement from Mr Hazzard.

State member for Wagga Joe McGirr, a former senior administrator at the Base Hospital, has warned that staff in Riverina emergency departments are being "put at greater risk" by an increasing reliance on telehealth.

"I think the new Wagga Base Hospital has pretty good security. But I do worry about smaller facilities and their security, because you don't have as many people around you," he said.

"And with fewer doctors around and relying on technology, there can be delays [in treating patients]. And we know that those delays can agitate people and put staff more at risk."

Dr McGirr was one of 17 NSW MPs who was formally consulted for the review.

He welcomed the "well-considered" recommendations including investing in permanent security staff.

He said it was important that hospital health and safety officers were appropriately trained and included in clinical teams "and are recognised as such, so they can work together".

Mr Hazzard said he would introduce additional measures including enhancing security numbers in emergency departments of some rural and regional hospitals.

But NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association MLHD organiser Matthew Doherty believes the report "doesn't go far enough" in its scope.

"Because it only focuses on emergency departments it doesn't take into account staffing and security issues across the hospital wards," he said.

"[The ED] is a flashpoint but we know of other issues that occur across the hospitals that the wider community don't see."

Mr Doherty called on the NSW government to prioritise increasing frontline clinical nursing staff and to mandate staff-to patient ratios in rural hospitals in order to improve safety in "understaffed" facilities.
