Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 895 asked in the Legislative Council on 9 October 2018 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CORRUPTION AND CRIME COMMISSION — NORTH METROPOLITAN HEALTH SERVICE — MISCONDUCT — GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

895. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Public Sector Management:

I refer to the answer provided to my question without notice 878 of 20 September 2018.

(1) What are the specific terms of reference of the Public Sector Commission's audit and review of existing contracts with the firms named in the 16 August 2018 Corruption and Crime Commission report?

(2) What direct or indirect contact has been made with those firms by the Public Sector Commission in the course of undertaking this audit and review?

(3) Noting the government's commitment to a public release of the audit and review, when is it likely that it will be completed?

(4) Are any other similar reviews being undertaken into these or related matters by an agency of the state government?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) The Public Sector Commission requested all public sector agencies and government trading entities to provide details of existing contracts with any of the firms identified in the Corruption and Crime Commission report. The contracts that were identified are currently being considered by the Department of Finance and the State Solicitor's Office as part of the review.

(2) As the review is not finalised, it would not be appropriate at this time to provide details of contacts with any of the identified firms.

(3) The review is ongoing and the results will be made public once it is finalised.

(4) The Public Sector Commission sent a CEO gateway message to all public sector agencies and government trading entities advising that it would be prudent for agencies to undertake their own internal review of contracts awarded since 1 July 2016 to the companies identified in the Corruption and Crime Commission report. This further work is not being coordinated by the Public Sector Commission.
