DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH — SALARY PACKAGING INQUIRIES
In a letter to staff dated 20 November 2008 about the salary packaging issue, the Director General of Health indicated that, given the serious nature of the conduct involved, a number of external agencies, including the Corruption and Crime Commission, the Australian Taxation Office and the Western Australia Police, had been informed. In that letter he indicated that a thorough audit and investigation of suspect claims was underway. I now ask — (1) Has the director general or any of his staff briefed any of these organisations; and, if so, which ones? Please table any correspondence or summary of correspondence, including emails, phone calls, and letters between the director general and these organisations in which he informs them of the salary packaging issue. (2) Are all three organisations conducting investigations? (3) Which department has priority or primacy in these investigations? (4) Is the Western Australian health department conducting an investigation; and, if so, what are the terms of reference for the audit and investigation as stated in the letter of 20 November 2008? (5) With reference to a second letter that has been sent to some hospital staff about the health department investigation, how many of these letters have been sent? (6) Please outline the criteria used to determine who should receive the second letter and who should not. Hon SIMON O’BRIEN

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Under section 28 of the Corruption and Crime Commission Act, the Director General of Health has made written notifications of suspected misconduct by Western Australian health staff to the Corruption and Crime Commission. These reports and related communications are confidential. Where criminal conduct has also been suspected, the Western Australia Police has also been notified. Verbal briefings on issues relevant to this matter have been provided separately to representatives of the Australian Taxation Office and the CCC by the Department of Health’s corporate governance directorate. (2) No. (3) The Corruption and Crime Commission. (4) Yes. The audit scope is to examine meal entertainment claims submitted by Department of Health staff to the Department of Health salary packaging providers to identify possible fraudulent or suspicious claims. (5) Four employees have received letters advising them that their salary packaging claims are being investigated. (6) Letters are sent when the Department of Health has evidence that fraudulent or suspicious claims have been made by its employees.
