(3) The protection of people’s confidentiality and privacy is paramount to the Independent Panel and Office of the Review. All submissions were accepted and dealt with in accordance with the requests of those that made the submission.
The Office of the Review have advised that in a small number of cases the Review referred specific matters individuals had raised (including their identity) to the Director General (DG) ACT Health, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Canberra Health Services (CHS) where the individual/s agreed to that information being provided.
Some Organisations chose to make their submissions public. Excerpts from these submissions were included in the Interim Report.
(4) The Review of Culture was established as an Independent Review. The ACT Government has not been provided with copies of individual submissions made to the Review Panel. This is completely appropriate, particularly given the Government’s intention that the privacy of individuals was maintained throughout the Review process.
The Review Panel has, in a small number of cases, referred to the relevant Director General or Chief Executive Officer specific matters which have been raised by individuals. The information provided was done so with the approval of the individual/s involved. These matters are being confidentially and sensitively handled (within existing complaints management processes) by the relevant organisation to ensure the upmost privacy is maintained.
