HEALTHWAY
SPONSORSHIP MANAGEMENT — EVENTS TICKETS
81. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the
Leader of the House representing the Premier:
(1) Was the Premier or any of his
ministerial office staff offered tickets to events by Healthway?
(2) Was a register kept of how those
tickets to hospitality events were used?
(3) If yes to (2), will the Premier
table a copy of the register; and, if not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No tickets to events were accepted from Healthway by the
Premier or his ministerial office staff.
(2) If
ministerial office staff wish to accept an invitation, the Department of the
Premier and Cabinet requires ministerial office staff to seek permission to
attend an event, unless they are accompanying a minister as part of the
minister's official duties or the invitation is to an event hosted by
the minister's agency. Records are not kept by the department when
invitations are received or declined or the officer does not advise the
department of an invitation.
(3) Not applicable.
