(3) Which of the key action items, referred to in part (2), remain incomplete and what progress has been made of them.
Ms Davidson: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Historically, the health advisory group has been effective in establishing high level oversight of the work between ACTCS and Canberra Health Services however, since the beginning of 2020 due to managing COVID-19, this group has not been as effective in the development of health-related policies.
(2) Of the nine action items from the meeting on 12 September 2019, seven have been actioned and two remain unfinalised. These unfinalised items are the development of a Service Level Agreement between Canberra Health Services and ACT Corrective Services, and the progression of a Drug Strategy (ACTCS to quantify).
(3) Prioritisation of the COVID-19 response has impacted on the completion of these items. They will be readdressed as the burden of the pandemic begins to ease.
