(9) In relation to the payment of $125 102 for membership of Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, what benefits accrue to (a) ACT Health and (b) consumers of the ACT health system.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Building 2 and 12 Electrical Main Switchboard (EMSB) Replacement project program has been amended to reflect inclusion of necessary variations, as summarised in answer 2a below. These projects are being progressed under a single contract. These changes have delayed completion of the project.
(2) (a) Following a fire incident on 5 April 2017 in the Building 2 electrical main switchboard room, new scope requirements were identified and investigation, design and implementation of these works were undertaken as follows:
• Restitution of existing Building 2 EMSB functionality following fire incident.
• Implementation of quick changeover business continuity switchboards for Building 2, Building 10 and Building 12.
• Full investigation of the Building 2 and 12 existing electrical distribution system’s redundancy provisions, resulting in scope variation to establish enhanced electrical system redundancy in conjunction with the replacement of the EMSBs.
