AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The funding for the 2008-09 budget has not been concluded because the health service will be funded through a resource allocation model underpinned by the financial outcome for 2007-08. (2)-(3) There are two stairwell exits in the area above Fortescue House. The stairwells are located on either end of the second-floor group of offices. These are also the fire exits. Entry requires an A3 key, but for exiting, in case of fire or otherwise, no key is needed. The consumer coordinator has a key to the stairwell exit in Fortescue House. The stairwell is usually kept locked for the safety of the patients in the ward downstairs. (4) The position of consumer coordinator was not advertised as providing a vehicle as part of the salary and conditions. Pool vehicles are available from the North Metropolitan Area Health Service vehicle pool, and taxi vouchers are available according to the current Department of Health transport policy. (5) Yes; I table the job description. [See paper 4010.]
