a) The Department of Health has several premises across the metropolitan area, with a number of functions being housed in the building at Royal Street, East Perth.
As has been reported in Parliament previously (PQ 3403 - November 2004; PQ 3388 - April 2006; Legislative Council Estimates Committee May 2006; and Legislative Assembly Estimates Committee May 2007), office accommodation at 1 Alvan Street, Subiaco was located for the then Executive Chair, Health Reform Implementation Taskforce (HRIT) when he was appointed in 2004. Upon appointment as the Director General, it was deemed unnecessary to relocate the HRIT; rather, two staff members were relocated from Royal Street to Alvan Street to manage the functions of the Office of the Director General.
Alvan Street continues to provide value for money accommodation compared to other metropolitan areas.
Other office space previously leased by the Department of Health has been relinquished with the functions moving into the Royal Street building, which is now fully occupied.
(b) 30 staff as at 23 May 2007.
(c) & (d) See attached Table 1
[tabled paper ______]
- summary showing positions, level and salary
(e) Two.
