AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1)–(2) There
are various reasons why positions may not have current recruitment processes
underway. These include positions that have recently become vacant—that
is, the recruitment has not started—and where recruitment processes are
not yet finalised, possible structural realignment of positions as required, or
to meet the operational needs of the business unit at the time.
As the member has requested extensive
information over 88 positions, that information has come to me but I have not
had a chance to look at it or read it yet.
Hon Stephen Dawson interjected.
Hon HELEN MORTON : Whatever it is, but I have not had a
chance to look at it yet. Once I have considered this information, I
will provide an update to the house.
Hon Stephen Dawson interjected.
Hon HELEN MORTON : It is available, I said that I have it,
but I have not read it yet.
Hon Stephen Dawson : You've got five hours; you could've
answered. It's outrageous.
Hon HELEN MORTON : I have been in here talking to the member
about mental health services.
