HEALTH —
INDEPENDENT GOVERNANCE REVIEW EXPERT PANEL
112. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the establishment of the
independent governance review expert panel to provide advice on the efficiency
and effectiveness of the current WA health system governance framework.
(1) What was the selection process
for interviewing and selecting members of the panel?
(2) Who had final approval of the members of the panel who
were selected?
(3) Do members meet in person or are
meetings undertaken virtually?
(4) In what state was each member
located at the time of the announcement?
(5) What was the total remuneration
paid to each member of the panel?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The Minister
for Health considered each panel member's skills, experience and
professional background to ensure a diverse set of formal qualifications,
abilities and experience were represented on the panel.
(2) The panel was
endorsed by cabinet on 17 January 2022.
(3) Meetings are undertaken virtually at this time,
given that two panel members are located interstate. Further, holding stakeholder consultation virtually also
reflects current COVID-19 infection suppression measures.
(4) Ms Kym Peake was located in Victoria, Mr David
Rosengren was located in Queensland, and Ms Jo Gaines and Mr Gary Smith
were both located in Perth. Interstate panel members remain interstate.
(5) The projected
total cost of the review is $488 000.
