occurring, (m) number of contracts with a permission or non permission clause for subcontracting and (n) number of contracts requiring award usage for subcontractors.
Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
a), b), c) These details can be found in the Department of Disability Housing and Community Services Annual Report for the 2005-2006 financial year pages 273-282.
d), e), f), g) h) i) j) k) l) m) n)
After careful consideration of the questions, and advice provided by my Department, I have determined that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provisions of direct services to clients, for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.

Details for contractors and consultants over $20,000 as required under the ACT Government annual reporting guidelines can be found in the Department of Health’s Annual Report for the 2005-2006 financial year pages 250 – 257.
After careful consideration of the questions, and advice provided by ACT Health, I have determined that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provisions of direct services to clients, for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.
