QuestionView source ↗
In regard to my previous question pertaining to private sector records management services inclusive of file retrieval and records storage costs for all departments and agencies, I ask:
(a) why has information on all agencies and departments listed officially at
http://wa.gov.au/agencies/
not been included in the Premier’s answer;
(b) which agencies, according to the list of government agencies at
http://wa.gov.au/agencies/
, use private sector records management services but have not been included in the figures supplied;
(c) was the Premier’s original response inclusive of all government agencies or only agencies for which information could be readily sourced;
(d) please detail the complete answer for every agency and department and list any agency department found at
http://wa.gov.au/agencies/
for which the Premier is unable to provide full information; and
(e) if information at the whole-of-government records site
http://wa.gov.au/agencies/
does not include agencies or departments within the Premier’s portfolio, please explain why and list the answer separately.
