A community controlled health organisation failed “at the most basic level” to implement policies to ensure the safety of its staff, an inquest into the death of murdered outback nurse Gayle Woodford has heard.

In final submissions on Wednesday, counsel assisting Ahura Kalali said SA’s Nganampa Health Council, that employed Ms Woodford, had placed the welfare of the community ahead of the safety of its workers.
