Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) As at 4 November 2019, there are currently 31 Extreme and 362 High risks managed by Infrastructure and Health Support Services on behalf of Canberra Health Services (CHS) and ACT Health Directorate.
(2) The following is a breakdown for each location requested;
a) Canberra Hospital – 25 Extreme, 163 High.
b) Calvary Public Hospital Bruce – nil recorded on CHS infrastructure risk register.
c) Off Campus locations – 6 Extreme, 199 High.
The Infrastructure Risk Register is a summary of all known building/infrastructure risks rated based on risk likelihood, consequence and asset priority rating which is derived from Strategic Asset Management Plans (SAMP). Risks are listed per building resulting in repetition of the same risk. Examples of reoccurring risk types are as follows:
• Electrical Switchboard information legends out of date/not available.
• Refrigerant R22 phase out.
• Unknown condition of offsite facilities.
(3) Active programs are underway to move these risks to a target medium risk level including the Upgrading and Maintaining ACT Health Assets (UMAHA), Better Infrastructure Fund (BIF), Critical Asset Upgrades (CAU).
In addition, all risks have a risk control action plan in place including immediate controls, linked to Business Continuity Plans, to minimise risk exposure pending implementation of permanent remediation.
Working concurrently with the above actions, planning is underway to inform remediation works and costs in accordance with the CHS Clinical Services Plan, Campus Master Planning and overall site modernisation.
(4) The aforementioned programs are currently funded in the financial years (FY) detailed below:
• UMAHA funding was first allocated in FY 2016-17, and is expected for completion at the end of FY 2020-21;
