Arts—ministerial briefings
(Question No 1732)

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events, upon notice, on 21 September 2018:

(1) How many briefs were prepared for the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events each month from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2018.

(2) Did the Directorate maintain an index of briefs prepared for the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events between 1 January 2018 and 30 September 2018; if yes, can the Minister append a copy to the answer to this question; if not, why not.

(3) How many question time briefs were prepared for the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events each month from 1 January 2018 to 30 September 2018.

(4) What topics were referenced in the question time briefs for 20 September 2018 for the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events.

(5) Were estimates briefs prepared for the Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events before the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD) appeared before the Select Committee on Estimates 2018-2019 on 28 June 2018; if yes, what topics were covered in those briefs; if not, why not.

(6) Were estimates briefs prepared for senior officials of CMTEDD on arts issues before the Select Committee on Estimates 2018-2019 hearings on 28 June 2018; if yes, what topics were covered in those briefs; if not, why not.

Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) There were over 130 briefs prepared for the Minister for Arts and Cultural Events between 1 January 2018 and 30 September 2018, comprising function briefs, meeting briefs and Question Time Briefs. Providing a detailed and accurate monthly breakdown over such a time period requires interrogating and checking a number of systems. This exercise is time consuming and would represent an unreasonable redirection of resources.

(2) Providing an accurate list of briefs across the agencies that report to the Minister for the time period requested requires interrogating and checking a number of systems. This exercise is time consuming and would represent an unreasonable redirection of resources.

(3) Question Time Briefs prepared each month from 1 January to 30 September 2018:
