MR CONNOLLY - The answer to the members question is as follows:
(1) Mr Gardiner of Dinard Psychological Services was contracted to complete the resident, evaluations following the closure of the Bruce Hostel.
(2) Mr Gardiner has been contracted for the period 1 September 1993 to 30 December 1993.
(3) Mr Gardiner is expected to write to all parents and staff by the end of September. He will be setting up meetings and undertaking interviews with parents, staff and residents during October and November. A written report detailing whether each residents placement in a group house has been successful is due by the end of December.
(4) Under the contract guidelines it is necessary to obtain three written quotes. Three written quotes were received and Mr Gardiners was considered to be the best value for money in terms of his qualifications, relevant experience and price. He was $2000 cheaper than the nearest competitor and $11,000 cheaper than the other competitor.
(5) Yes
(6) No
(7) Mr Gardiner was employed on a temporary contract for two days per week. His contract was ceased when he was not the officer recommended for recruitment to the position which he was occupying at the time.

The multi-disciplinary team provides support for, and advice and information to, people with an intellectual disability, their carers , community agencies and other government agencies.
(8) Mr Gardiner was employed for the period 6 April to 24 July 1992,
the 19 October 1992 to 11 January 1993 and 6 March to

employee. Mr Gardiner does not hold any other contract for the
ACT Government Service that I am aware of.
(9) The position Mr Gardiner was held against on a temporary part-time basis was specifically for the purpose of the management of the Community Disability Services Team. It was not appropriate for Mr Gardiner to undertake a consultancy during the time he was employed by the Bureau.
