questions any more; and the Deputy Chief Minister is continuing a sort of de facto question time by answering questions.
MR SPEAKER: This is within the standing orders, Mr Collaery. Please resume your seat.
MR WHALAN: I indicated at that time that Mr Da Deppo had leased by direct sale a block of land to construct a tourist facility below the Scrivener Dam. Normally Mr Collaery would be pursuing information. I am giving him information here - there are many pages which I am going to table. For the sake of completeness, I wish to advise the house that the Australian Valuation Office recommended an unimproved capital value of $200,000 for the site, having regard to the requirement for the lessee to undertake significant off-site works to the approximate value of $402,000. This would indicate a land value of approximately $600,000.
In addition, compensation of $59,400 was paid by the lessee for removal of trees. In this chamber on 5 July I made available the complete files on this matter - and I wish to re-emphasise that point - but not one member of the Assembly sought to have an examination. They were placed on the table in the course of the debate, and I have the transcript of the Hansard here if people want to clarify their memory. Not one member sought to take advantage of that offer. Accordingly, for the information of members, I table a complete synopsis of the files, together with a copy of relevant documentation which outlines the steps involved in this process.
Community Medical Practitioner
MR BERRY: I would like to respond to a question which was raised on 25 July by Mr Kaine, the Leader of the Opposition, and it was in relation to the appointment of a community medical practitioner at the Phillip Health Centre, about which Mr Kaine asked a number of questions. I respond as follows: The appointment in question was made by the ACT Community and Health Service in the ordinary course of recruitment within the service to replace an officer who had retired. The only degree of urgency related to the need to maintain existing levels of service delivery to patients.
The duties expected of the person appointed to this position are the same as those expected of all other personnel at this classification. The terms of contract agreed with the officer are in accordance with the relevant industrial award in relation to permanent appointment, remuneration, duties and all other conditions. The person appointed has a prime responsibility to patient care. In addition the community medical practitioner is expected to carry out tasks appropriate to family medicine, preventive medicine and primary care in the community.
