Public service—annual reports
(Question No 707)
Mr Smyth asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 19 October 2005:
(1) What was the cost of preparing the 2004-2005 (a) interim and (b) final annual reports from the Community and Health Services Complaints Commissioner;
(2) Were there any amendments made in the final report; if so, why have these changes not been identified; if not, why was there a need to produce the final or second report that Members received;
(3) Why weren’t Members of the Legislative Assembly informed that the original report they received was an interim report, pending the preparation of the final report.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The cost of preparing the 2004-05 annual report was $11,609 (layout and editing - $7,418 and publishing - $4,191). Fifty printed copies for the purposes of distribution out of session were produced at a cost of $579.70.
(2) After the printed copies were distributed out of session some small editorial changes were made in the later final proof process for publishing. No amendments were made to the Commissioner’s account of the operations of the Office, apart from the most minor editing. Some minor changes were made to three illustrative case studies to ensure anonymity and to refine the narrative.
(3) The Commissioner produced on annual report and was unaware that the published copies of the annual report tabled in October must be exactly the same as the printed copies of the annual report distributed out of session.
