Standing orders—suspension

Motion (by Mr Gentleman) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent:

(2) (a) questions without notice concluding at the time of interruption; or

(b) debate on any motion before the Assembly at the time of interruption being adjourned until the adjournment questions in relation to the Appropriation Bill 2017-2018 and the Appropriation (Office of the Legislative Assembly) Bill 2017-2018 are determined; and

(c) notwithstanding the provisions of standing order 74, presentation of papers may be made prior to the suspension for lunch;

(3) at 3 pm on Thursday, 8 June 2017, the order of the day for resumption of debate on the question that the Appropriation Bill 2017-2018 be agreed to in principle, being called on notwithstanding any business before the Assembly and that the time limits on the speeches of the Leader of the Opposition and the Leader of the ACT Greens be equivalent to the time taken by the Treasurer in moving the motion “That this Bill be agreed to in principle”; and

(4) (a) questions without notice concluding at the time of interruption; or

(b) debate on any motion before the Assembly at that time being adjourned until a later hour that day.

ACT Health system-wide data review quarterly update

Ministerial statement

MS FITZHARRIS (Yerrabi—Minister for Health, Minister for Transport and City Services and Minister for Higher Education, Training and Research) (10.10): As members know, the delivery of high quality health services to the Canberra community is this government’s number one priority. Every year thousands of Canberrans access our health services, and our staff do a wonderful job delivering high quality, tailored services to the community.

As health minister it is my priority to ensure that we not only have a high quality health system that Canberrans trust but also have the right data available to us to monitor and track our performance. As members are aware, in February this year I announced the establishment of a comprehensive system-wide review of ACT Health data and reporting that will take us back to the basics of collection, analysis and reporting of our data.
