I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (4) to, ‘Improve policy formulation in the public sector by:
(a) flexibly deploying policy capacity across the sector to areas of greatest need;
(b) reviewing the policy capacity of central Agencies and major departments;
(c) widening the experience of staff in central Agencies and service delivery Agencies through greater mobility;
(d) using taskforces, including expertise from the community and private sectors;
(e) encouraging policy advisors from other public sector jurisdictions, the private sector, academia and community organisations to work in the Western Australian public sector; and
(f) increasing the depth of policy advice available to Ministers by rotation of more experienced policy staff through their offices’,
and I ask -
(1) Has modelling been done on how best to flexibly deploy policy capacity across the sector to areas of greatest need?
(2) If no to (1), when will it be done and will the model be made public?
(3) Has a review of the policy capacity of central Agencies and major departments commenced?
(4) If yes to (3), when will it be completed?
(5) If no to (3), when will the review commence?
(6) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation four?
(7) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number four of the Economic Audit Committee?
