PERTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL —
BUILDING COMMISSIONER — DRAFT REPORT
600. Mr W.R. MARMION to the Minister for
Commerce and Industrial Relations:
I refer to documents that have been
released by the freedom of information commissioner that reveal the removal of
a critical recommendation from the draft Building Commissioner's
report, which was to undertake a scientific and forensic testing regime to
fully determine the source or sources of lead at the Perth Children's
Hospital. Why was this critical recommendation removed and by whom?

AnswerView source ↗

As the member knows, the Building
Commissioner is an independent office holder. I have absolutely nothing to do
with the preparation of reports by the independent office of the Building
Commissioner; therefore, I not only do not have any knowledge of the matters
raised by the member, I cannot have any knowledge of the matters raised by the
member.
