AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) Yes. The car is leased by KEMH-PMH which recoup the leasing costs from the Metropolitan Health Service Board. The use of a car by Judith Adams, whose residence is in a rural part of the State, was approved by the chairman and the director of finance following a review by them of the comparative economics of providing a car or expenses on a kilometre basis. The provision of a car under lease, with the specific condition that it be used for board business, with some personal usage while in Perth, rather than paying a per kilometre rate, is the cheaper option.
