(5) All urgent bookings are made within the clinically recommended timeframes. Patients who are referred as a part of the National Bowel Cancer Screening program are all booked for a consultation within one month of receiving a referral.
(6) GEHU is formed from three distinct medical specialties – General Gastroenterology, Hepatology and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) service. A patient who is awaiting a liver appointment would not impact the waiting times of a general gastroenterology appointment as they are two separate specialties, however the patients for all specialities are wait listed under “the gastroenterology ambulatory waiting list” – comments within the waitlists dictate which specialty a patient should be booked into. In regard to specific wait times, please see below.

ACT Corrective Services—Indigenous liaison officers
(Question No 927)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 14 October 2022:
(1) What key performance indicators are associated with the Indigenous Liaison Officer (ILO) position.
(2) How many full-time equivalent ILO positions are funded for ACT Corrective Services.
(3) How many ILOs have resigned or taken an extended leave of absence (over six months) in the last four years, given the committee for the inquiry into Community Corrections stated that there was “high turnover of ILOs”.
(4) How many ILOs have been hired in the last four years.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. The Aboriginal Liaison Officer (ALO) role (previously the Indigenous Liaison Officer (ILO) role) is expected to meet the following requirements:
• to engage each detainee on their primary allocated caseload on at least two occasions per month
• ALO Inductions for new receptions to be completed within the required completion time in at least 90% of cases, and
• ALO Exit interviews for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees exiting from custody to be completed in at least 80% of cases.
