QuestionView source ↗
I refer the minister to the Auditor General’s supplementary report on ministerial portfolio agency reports for 2001-02, and primarily the public health sector, in which he states that the failure by health agencies to meet their statutory reporting deadlines reflects adversely on their management reporting systems. (1) In view of the Auditor General’s comments, how can the Parliament be assured that the health agencies’ financial requirements are accurately reported in the 2003-04 budget document? (2) What penalties apply to agencies that do not meet the statutory deadlines for reporting their financial statements or performance indicators? (3) If no penalties apply, why not? (4) Has the Minister for Health rectified the shortcomings identified by the Auditor General in relation to the Deemed Board of Metropolitan Public Hospitals; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Department of Health’s 2003-04 budget has been based on a rigorous assessment of the financial requirement pertaining to the 2003-04 financial year. The approach adopted was cognisant of the Government’s priority areas of emergency departments, wait lists and the nursing work force while being mindful of the known movements in cost impacting on the public health sector. The base point for the determination of likely movements in known cost drivers has been the 2002-03 financial year. Accordingly, the comments detailed in the Auditor General’s report on the 2001-02 financial year have little relevance to the level of resources required for the 2003-04 financial year. (2) There is provision in the legislation to allow agencies to seek extensions of statutory deadlines for submission of financial statements or performance indicators. Agencies that do not meet the agreed deadlines can be issued with a qualified opinion in relation to the timeliness of the reports. (3) Not applicable. (4) The Department of Health has instituted a number of measures to address the issues identified by the Auditor General in relation to the Deemed Board of the Metropolitan Public Hospitals. These measures include - the preparation of a whole-of-health accounting manual that will ensure a consistent approach to managing special purpose accounts and trust accounts; development of a new set of procedures for processing postal remittances; revision of delegation schedules and specific training of delegated officers; and implementation of internal audit processes to ensure ongoing compliance with new policies and procedures.
