QuestionView source ↗
FIONA STANLEY HOSPITAL — SERCO
We know that Serco is the minister’s preferred tender for services at Fiona Stanley Hospital. Given that the Fiona Stanley Hospital tender evaluation team visited a number of hospitals in the United Kingdom last year — (1) When was the government informed that the United Kingdom’s Healthcare Environment Inspectorate released a damning report on Serco’s Wishaw General Hospital, revealing that six out of eight wards failed to meet hygiene standards, and what actions did the minister take? (2) Given that there is now a Commonwealth Ombudsman inquiry, a separate federal government inquiry and this new report into Serco, will the minister release the evaluations into the privatisation at Fiona Stanley Hospital, which has been requested in this chamber and elsewhere on a number of occasions? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗
(1)–(2) No, I have not taken any action and nor do I intend to, because we are going through the process of the health team evaluating Serco. When they have done that, they will make a recommendation to me, which will go to cabinet, and cabinet will make a decision. The team will have all those facts and that information. That will be part of the cabinet deliberations. Mr E.S. Ripper : Will you release the report at that stage? Dr K.D. HAMES : I just said probably not, because it will be part of cabinet deliberations. Cabinet will assess all the facts and make a decision. I have no intention of doing anything in the meantime. The member referred to the report on the UK hospital. I have received information that Serco has put out its own release, contradicting and explaining those findings and saying that whatever they were was not inappropriate. I have absolute confidence in the ability of the Department of Health and in the team at the Department of Health. It is the same team that was doing the job when the Labor Party was in government. We have not changed anybody; the same people are doing the same job here in government and were exploring the Labor government’s policy, which was to contract out services, and which is totally contrary to the member’s statement yesterday. Mr E.S. Ripper : That was not our policy. You are dishonest. Dr K.D. HAMES : Absolutely not. It is there in black and white and tabled in this house. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I formally call the Minister for Transport to order for the first time today. I instruct the Leader of the Opposition to be very careful with the words he chooses to use in this place. Dr K.D. HAMES : It sounds like the Minister for Transport is trying to help me here. I just wondered whether there was anything he would like to add? Several members interjected. Dr K.D. HAMES : I conclude my remarks and wait for the supplementary question.
