Board of Health Business Rules
MR BERRY: Mr Stefaniak is not here at the moment to listen to this enthralling answer to a question which he raised on 3 December.
Mr Collaery: If you are short of time, why are you not tabling this?
MR BERRY: He asked for some information on the business rules which are in place in relation to the funds of the Board of Health. This will be very short, Mr Collaery. The rules cover increased salary costs due to award variations, alterations in significant indices such as patient mix where they are outside the control of the board, variations in activity levels outside the control of the board and variations to the funding requirement of the Commonwealth supported programs. I am sure that you will all agree - he said, as they applauded - that they represent an essential improvement on the rather uncertain arrangements that were applied previously. I now table these rules.
Interim Planning Legislation
MR SPEAKER: During question time Mr Jensen asked a question without notice of Ms Follett concerning the gazettal date of the Interim Planning (Amendment) Act (No. 2) 1991. I inform members that once a Bill is passed by the Assembly there are a number of arrangements and checks that are made to ensure that the Act is accurate and available to all citizens of the Territory through the Commonwealth Government Bookshop after it has been forwarded through the Speaker to the Chief Minister for gazettal.
The Act mentioned by Mr Jensen is being processed in a normal manner and is expected to be forwarded to the Chief Minister for gazettal next week. The workload on the secretariat staff in the last few weeks has been exceptionally heavy; yet normal processing times are still being achieved at this time, to the credit of all involved.
PAPER
MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister): For the information of members, I table the following paper:
ACT Rural Fire Service - Rural Fire Control Manual, dated November 1991.
