MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND COMMUNITY CARE
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 286
Canberra Institute of Technology - Medical Advice Contract
In relation to Gazette No. 31 of 7 August 1996, page 669, purchase reference
XPM
6003 -
1) What medical advice was provided to the Canberra Institute of Technology's staff by the ACT Government Health Services at a cost of $15,000.
2) What tender process was followed in awarding this contract to ACT Government Health Services.
3) Since July 1 1995, what (a) other "medical advice" has been provided by ACT Government Health Services to agencies and departments; and (b) at what cost.
MRS CARNELL - my answer to Mr Whitecross' question is:
1) The words "ACT Government Health Services" in Gazette No. 31 was incorrect and should have read "Commonwealth Health Services". The advice provided by Commonwealth Health Services covered medicals for permanent appointment, medical assessments for existing staff, and a variety of tests pertaining to staff employment.
2) The Gazette notice should have also had an asterix and explanation that the amount was for a period order.
3) As the question relates to Commonwealth Health Services, I am unable to answer this part of the question.
