Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Some of this information is already publicly available in the ACT Health Directorate and Canberra Health Services previous annual reports available at:

https://health.act.gov.au/about-our-health-system/data-and-publications/reports/annual-reports.

Providing the additional detail sought would require a significant diversion of resources. I do not consider this to be justified at this instance.

Community Services Directorate––contractors
(Question No 2990)

Miss C Burch asked the Minister for Community Services and Facilities, upon notice, on 3 April 2020:

Can the Minister provide a breakdown of the total number of external contractors and consultants employed by the Community Services Directorate by (a) full-time equivalent, (b) headcount and (c) equivalent ACT public service classification, during (i) 2015-16, (ii) 2016-17, (iii) 2017 18, (iv) 2018-19 and (v) 2019-20 to date.

Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

I do not approve the considerable diversion of public sector resources needed to respond to this question during the COVID-19 Health Emergency. Some of this information is already publicly available in the Community Services Directorate Annual Report 2018-19 in Part C: https://www.communityservices.act.gov.au/publications/annual-reports/2018-2019/part-c-financial-management-reporting/government-contracting.

Questions without notice taken on notice

Crime—sexual assault

Mr Gentleman (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Tuesday, 11 February 2020):

1. ACT Policing’s case management system, PROMIS, allows the coding of how each offence is cleared by police. The clearance type indicates the outcome of the incident. These outcomes include the identification of an offender (through an arrest or some other form of proceeding such as a summons or a caution), withdrawal of the complaint or the determination that the offence was unsubstantiated.

Any one case may involve numerous separate offences and each offence will be cleared separately and coded in PROMIS appropriately. If a complaint is withdrawn by the complainant, the offence is deemed to be cleared and is coded in PROMIS accordingly. The reason for an offence being cleared is recorded in free text in PROMIS.
