HEALTH PRACTITIONER REGULATION NATIONAL LAW (WA) REGULATIONS
766. Hon ADELE FARINA to the minister
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to the Health Practitioner
Regulation National Law (WA) Regulations 2010 on the State Law Publisher
website, which states that the regulations were amended on 1 June 2015.
(1) Were these
new regulations or amendments to the regulations considered by the Parliament
of Western Australia as required under section 7(2) and Section 245(2) of the
Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (WA) Act 2010?
(2) Were these
amendments referred to the Joint Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation
for consideration prior to being incorporated into the regulations on 1 June
2015; and, if yes, when?
(3) Why were
regulations adopted by the Victorian Parliament incorporated into the Western Australian
regulations, contrary to the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (WA)
Act 2010?
(4) Will the
minister table or identify the new regulations or amendments incorporated into
the Western Australian regulations on 1 June 2015?
(5) What action
is the minister taking to ensure his department complies with Western Australian
legislative requirements?
