Hospital Services
(Question No. 58)
Mr Humphries asked the Minister for Community Services and Health, upon notice, on 15 November 1989:
Does the Minister support the Kearney recommendation that the proposed hospital board of directors comprise six members selected by the Minister with expertise in areas covering business and financial management, corporate planning, law, the trade union movement and education, and three staff nominees (one medical, one nurse and one other) elected by the relevant staff.
Mr Berry: The answer to Mr Humphries' question is as follows:
The Government has yet to decide the composition of the Hospitals Board. The Kearney Review recommendations will be taken into account in this process.
Hospital Services
(Question No. 59)
Mr Humphries asked the Minister for Community Services and Health, upon notice, on 15 November 1989:
In view of the Minister's criticism of the cost of supporting the interim hospital board ($150,000 a year) will a similar cost be involved in supporting an advisory committee; if not, why not.
Mr Berry: The answer to Mr Humphries' question is as follows:
There is no criticism of the Interim Hospital Board, nor of the cost to run it. It is expected that the initiatives announced by the Labor Government will operate at a similar cost.
