MINISTER FOR HEALTH
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION 410
Woden Valley Hospital – MediLINC
Software Package
Mrs Carnell asked the Minister for Health:
In relation to Unisyss MediLINC work -
(1) Was this work approved by the Chief Ministers Consultancy Review Committee.
(2) What was involved in this consultancy and is it on-going.
(3) What steps were followed in putting this consultancy opportunity out to tender.
Mr Berry - the answer to Mrs Carnells question is as follows:
(1) The MediLINC work undertaken by the Unisys contractor, was on a time and materials basis as an extension to Healths software support arrangements with Unisys, and was not approved by the Chief Ministers Consultancy Review Committee.
(2) MediLINC is a proprietary product of Unisys Australia and is a software package that supports the Patient Administration functions of Woden Valley Hospital. The work was initiated to assist the merging of the two (2) public hospitals by modifying the MediLINC software to reflect the new principal hospital. The contractors work was completed at the end of May 1992.
(3) Because of the proprietary nature of the MediLINC software package, it was inappropriate to seek tenders from organisations or individuals not associated with Unisys.
