MINISTER FOR HEALTH

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 941

Medical Board - Complaints

Mr Moore - asked the Minister for Health

In relation to your response to Question On Notice No. 600 could the Minister please provide further information relating to (a) complaints received by the Medical Board of the ACT prior to October 1992; (b) the number of complaints investigated and (c) the outcomes of these investigations.

Mr Berry - the answer to Mr Moores question is:

No data base of complaints had been kept prior to January 1992.

(a) Over the period January to October 1992, the Medical Board received a total of twenty (20) complaints.

(b) All twenty (20) complaints were put to the Complaints Committee of the Board for investigation.

(c) There does not appear to be any complaints outstanding with the exception of one complaint. Action is continuing on that complaint which has unfortunately been delayed due to the extended holiday of the medical practitioner involved.

The absence of further correspondence on complaints heard by the Board over the period January to October 1992 would indicate that all complaints were resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.
