Report on Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 13 of 1997 -
Government Response
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Mr Speaker, I am pleased to table the Government's response to Report No. 6 of the Standing Committee for the Chief Minister's Portfolio. The effectiveness of our strategy to improve the management of nursing services in our public hospitals is something this Government takes very seriously. As well as pursuing efficiency in the management of nursing services in our public hospitals, we are seeking to focus attention on improving the effectiveness of service delivery and resource management.
As part of this response, I am also pleased to provide a copy of the recent Commonwealth national cost data collection results. Copies of this are limited, Mr Speaker, so if members require a copy of the report they can ask me and I will obtain one for them. Because of their portfolio responsibility and other responsibilities and interests, I have taken the liberty of asking my staff to provide one to Mr Stanhope, one to Mr Wood and one to Ms Tucker. If anybody else indicates now that they want a copy, I will make sure they get one. Alternatively, members can contact my office.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
