HEALTHWAY —
AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
139. Mr R.H. COOK to the Minister for
Health:
I have a supplementary question.
Last time in this place, the minister gave a guarantee that there would be an
independent entity following Healthway . Is the
minister now saying today that he will not guarantee that independence and
therefore he will not be able to see the resignation of the AMA representative?

It is not up to me to make that
final decision on the future of Healthway , because at
that time we were not dealing with the fallout of what happened with the Public
Sector Commission. I have made it clear that my preference has been for Healthway to continue to do the same work it is doing now,
but that is an issue, in light of the Public Sector Commission investigation,
that will be decided in the future.
