AnswerView source ↗
First, I would like to apologise to
the opposition. I was welcoming the King and Queen of Norway on behalf of the
state earlier on, and had a pair. I inadvertently arranged it until three oXXX ### XXXclock , but I always
intended to be back for question time, so that the opposition might have been
able to ask me some questions. I apologise for that.
The Premier made a commitment that
he would seek legal advice on the agreement between Healthway and the executive director and, if possible, table that advice. I am the
minister responsible, so that becomes my responsibility. In tabling this
document, I point out that there were three and a half years to go on the
executive directorXXX ###XXXs contract. This payout is
in line with normal public sector conditions, which is approximately a yearXXX ###XXXs salary plus entitlements. I also point out
that the executive director is directly employed by Healthway ,
so I have had no involvement in this negotiation, but for the information of
the Parliament and the people of Western Australia I table this document.
