I am advised initial notification of the assault incident was provided through ACTCS to the Minister for Corrections’ Office on the day of incident, 15 January 2017. I am further advised a formal detailed verbal briefing was provided to the Minister for Corrections’ Office on Monday, 16 January 2017 with regular updates following this.
Health Directorate—data integrity
Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Mrs Dunne on Tuesday, 21 March 2017):
1. Meetings were held between the then Minister for Health, Simon Corbell, and ACT Health to discuss concerns about data associated with the Quarterly Reports on 28 July 2016, 8 August 2016 and 1 September 2016. I was present at these meetings, as an observer, in my capacity as Assistant Minister for Health.
2. There were no formal written briefings prepared for the Chief Minister or Head of Service prior to caretaker.
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders—educational outcomes
Ms Berry (in reply to a question and a supplementary by Mr Milligan on Thursday, 23 March 2017):
(1) Yes, the ACT Education Directorate publishes an annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Report to the Legislative Assembly of the ACT. The report for 2015-16 was tabled in the Assembly on 4 August 2016 and the upcoming 2016-17 report is due to be tabled in the Assembly later this year.
The ACT Government also reports at a whole of government level on ACT results against the closing the gap targets through the following publications:
• ACT Closing the Gap Report – the most recent report was published in August 2016.
• The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Whole of Government Agreement 2015–18 includes priorities and headline indicators that align with the national closing the gap targets.
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders—educational outcomes
Ms Berry (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Wall on Thursday, 23 March 2017):
1) The Education Directorate chose to publish NAPLAN reading and numeracy domains as the most appropriate measures of progress in literacy and numeracy, as these are commonly used measures at the national level.
Performance in years 5 and 9 are reported (rather than years 3 and 7) as these year levels are the closest NAPLAN measurement points to the end of primary and high school and represent effective measures of progress in literacy and numeracy.
