(2) Investigations to date have not found any errors in the mental health data in the 2014-15 Annual Report. The mental health datasets will be examined further as part of the system-wide review of ACT Health data and reporting processes.

ACT Health—annual report corrigenda

Mr Barr (in reply to a question by Ms Lee on Wednesday, 15 February 2017):

There are a total of four corrigenda to 2015-16 Annual Reports. The Community Services Directorate and Education Directorate tabled corrigenda on 14 February 2017. Transport Canberra and City Services tabled corrigenda on 16 February 2017. Corrigenda for the State of the Service Report 2016 as advised on 27 February 2017 is currently being prepared and will be tabled at the next Assembly sitting. The Workforce Capability and Governance Division has been advised of all of these corrigenda. At this stage, no other directorates have advised they are preparing a corrigendum.

Corrigenda can be developed and tabled as soon as any errors are confirmed; there are no time limits on how long after Annual Reports have been prepared that corrigenda can be tabled.

No ACT Government directorate or agency has notified my directorate of any problems with its management of data and reporting of performance information in relation to the 2015-16 Annual Reports or other reports to the Assembly.

ACT Health—annual report corrigenda

Mr Barr (in reply to a supplementary question by Mrs Dunne on Wednesday, 15 February 2017):

Discussions about the accuracy of data occur as part of the routine data validation processes. Specific to the questions raised by Mrs Dunne, I am advised that ACT Health has regular liaison with several Commonwealth Agencies to improve data quality as required under the National Health Information Agreement (Sections 18 and 33(e), (f), (j)).

Canberra Hospital—data integrity

Ms Fitzharris (in reply to supplementary questions by Mrs Jones and Mrs Dunne on Wednesday, 15 February 2017):

1. The falsified data in 2012 was the record level data in the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS).

Currently, there is no evidence that raises concern with the data contained within the EDIS system.

2. Currently, there is no evidence that raises concerns with the records that were corrected within EDIS as a result of the Auditor General’s report in 2012.
