I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The Minister
for Health considered each panel member's skills, experience and
professional background to ensure a diverse set of formal qualifications,
abilities and experience were represented on the panel.
(2) The panel was
endorsed by cabinet on 17 January 2022.
(3) Meetings are undertaken virtually at this time,
given that two panel members are located interstate. Further , holding stakeholder consultation virtually also
reflects current COVID-19 infection suppression measures.
(4) Ms Kym Peake was located in Victoria, Mr David
Rosengren was located in Queensland, and Ms Jo Gaines and Mr Gary Smith
were both located in Perth. Interstate panel members remain interstate.
(5) The projected
total cost of the review is $488 000.
