CORONAVIRUS — GOVERNMENT RESPONSE —
REVIEW
132. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
Noting that in the first instance this question was directed
to the Minister for Health and then redirected, I will just read the question
as it was originally presented.
I refer to the minister's joint media statement made
with the Premier on 19 January 2023, in which the minister announced the
appointment of three people to review the state's COVID-19 pandemic
management and response. The media statement stated, ''Consultation with
public sector agencies and other stakeholders, including peak industry and
community organisations, will be a critical part of the review process''.
(1) Is the
minister aware that community support—specifically, community
engagement—is expressly listed as one of the aspects of the state's
COVID-19 response to be considered in the terms of reference?
(2) Will members of the general public be consulted?
(3) Is the
minister aware that petition 49 sought for all health advice and modelling used
to justify each state of emergency declaration to be tabled in Parliament?
(4) Will the minister provide all
health advice and modelling to the three-person review?
(5) If no to (2) or (4), why not?
