I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation 38 which was to, -
‘Strengthen and simplify the public sector management framework by streamlining public sector oversight structures and removing unnecessary prescription, including through -
(a) merging the role of the Public Sector Standards Commissioner and the Public Sector Commissioner;
(b) streamlining discipline provisions and arrangements for the regulation of conduct; and
(c) removing unnecessary prescription from those instruments that regulate the recruitment, management, performance management and discipline of public sector employees’,
and I ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation 38 have been achieved, -
(a) draft and introduce changes to the
Public Sector Management Act 1994
in accordance with Government’s legislative priorities and reform agenda;
(b) following passage of amended legislation, implement required structural changes to achieve integration of Office of the Public Sector Standards Commissioner/PSC functions and processes (within three months of proclamation); and
(c) develop and commence a program to revise subsidiary compliance instruments (March 2010)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation 38 have not been achieved, why not?
