In relation to these outstanding reports, I would anticipate that a formal Government response would be ready shortly.
Madam Speaker, turning then to the first of these Government responses being presented today., I would like to thank the Public Accounts Committee for its consideration of the various Auditor Generals Reports contained within its Report number 7 of 1993.
I would like to take this opportunity to make one or two points in relation to the Committees findings, and to table for Members information the Governments response to the Report No. 7 of 1993.
I am pleased to note the many positive comments the Committee has made in relation to the various aspects of public sector and financial management investigated by the AuditorGeneral, and the numerous examples of progress undertaken since the Auditor-General tabled these Reports.
In particular, I am pleased to note the PACs findings that, on the whole, the recommendations made by the Auditor-General in relation to the management of information technology in the ACT have been implemented. The Government notes that further work on the matter of security policy issues is now being progressed by the Information Technology Strategy Committee.
In relation to the Auditor-Generals Report No. 4 of 1992 relating to the ACT Board of Health Management of Information Technology, I note the Committees conclusions that the Government has made significant progress to improve the management of IT.
Once again Madam Speaker, I would take this opportunity to thank the PAC for its deliberations, and table for Members information the Governments response to the Public Accounts Committee Report No. 7 of 1993.
