As the member would be aware, the
Corruption and Crime Commission conducted a thorough investigation of these
issues and came out with a report. Following that report, I then asked the
Department of Health to do a thorough investigation of its own systems and to
report back on those. In addition to that, we asked the Public Sector
Commissioner to undertake an independent evaluation of the systems and
accountabilities inside the health system. The question perhaps is to the
member for Churchlands: does he not think the Public Sector Commissioner is
independent?
