14 RADIATION PROTECTION (TANNING UNITS) AMENDMENT BILL 2010: (Ms Bresnan) Agreement in principle—Resumption of debate (from 5 May 2010—Mrs Dunne).

15 COMPANION ANIMALS: Resumption of debate (from 23 June 2010—Mr Hargreaves) on the motion of Ms Porter—That this Assembly:

(1) recognises the need for guidelines for the breeding and selling of companion animals in the ACT; and

16 REVIEW OF PUBLIC MATERNITY UNITS: Resumption of debate (from 18 August 2010—Mr Hargreaves) on the motion of Mr Hanson—That this Assembly:

(1) notes:

(a) that the Review of Public Maternity Units in the ACT released on 5 August 2010:

(i) has provided a damning report on the management of The Canberra Hospital (TCH), including a lack of cohesion amongst the executive team and considerable confusion over roles and functions of senior management;

(ii) found that reporting lines between TCH and ACT Health were ‘blurred’ and that the ‘chain of command often fails’;

(iii) has found that numerous serious complaints made by staff were not addressed and that their complaints were ignored in a ‘systematic and long-standing reticence by management to address disruptive or inappropriate behaviour’, and that ‘most staff interviews indicated that they had tried to raise issues about clinician behaviour with various managers, but had not been able to effect change’;

(iv) has found serious concerns within the obstetrics department of TCH, including:

(A) inadequate clinical governance;

(B) significant staff shortages;

(C) a heavy on load call inconsistent with the safe working hours concept;

(D) poorly coordinated clinical handover between shifts; and

(E) significant reductions in genealogical surgery;

(b) that with regard to the obstetrics department, urgent action is required for the hospital to retain its high clinical standard;

1410 No. 76—23 September 2010

(c) that as late as February 2010, the Minister and senior ACT Health officials repeatedly denied that there were any problems at TCH or that any complaints had been made;

(d) that the Minister attacked the doctors who raised the serious concerns accusing them of ‘doctor politics’ and ‘mud slinging’;

(e) that the Minister and Chief Minister attempted to intimidate the doctors who raised the serious concerns by threatening to audit all complaints to the medical board over the past 10 years that involve obstetricians;

(f) that the clinical review into obstetrics and the review into bullying were only reluctantly established by the Government after significant pressure from the media and the Opposition;

(g) that despite the review finding that numerous complaints were made by staff and that they were ‘systematically’ ignored by TCH management, the Minister refused to accept any responsibility and blamed the staff for not having made complaints, stating on 9 August 2010 that ‘you can’t investigate allegations that don’t exist’; and

(h) that significant concerns remain in the community and amongst staff that the Minister and/or senior bureaucrats have, through their actions and misleading statements, attempted to cover up the serious problems at TCH that are addressed in the report; and

(2) calls on the Minister to:

(a) apologise in writing to all obstetrics staff employed at TCH in the last three years for her and ACT Health’s failure to adequately address their concerns and for her ongoing attacks on their credibility;

(b) apologise to the Assembly and to the community by the close of business on 19 August 2010 for her repeated misleading statements that no complaints had been made and that there were no issues that needed to be addressed in obstetrics at TCH; and

(c) ensure that the bullying review is released in full, with only personal information deleted, to ensure that staff at TCH and the public have confidence that the Minister and senior ACT Health bureaucrats are not continuing to ignore serious allegations of poor conduct at TCH.

And on the amendment moved by Ms Hunter—Omit all words after “notes”, substitute:

“all findings and recommendations from the ‘Review of Service Delivery and Clinical Outcomes at Public Maternity Units in the Australian Capital Territory’ released on 5 August 2010; and

(2) calls on: (a) all Members of this Assembly to respect the Public Interest Disclosure

Act 1994; and

No. 76—23 September 2010 1411

(b) the Chief Executive of ACT Health to seek the assistance of the Work Safety Commissioner in ensuring ACT Health has in the medium to long term best-practice policies for preventing against bullying and harassment in ACT Health workplaces.”. (Order of the day will be removed from the Notice Paper unless called on within 6 sitting weeks – standing order 152A.)

(2) Given that the Government response also stated, in part, that “it is not appropriate to make public deliberations in relation to this matter”, what are the reasons that make it inappropriate for deliberations on the options to be made public.

(3) In relation to answers provide to questions Nos 352 and 353 taken on notice during the Estimates hearings for the 2010-11 Budget which read, in part, that “a full expansion to adult offenders was originally estimated to result in doubling the number of total referrals … there is no reason to believe that this is still not the case” and that “the restorative justice unit’s budget for 2009-10 was $602 664 … in addition, ACT Policing funds one convenor position to conduct conferences for police referrals … the cost to ACT Policing is $103 348”, from the figures provided and using the assumption that an expansion to adult offenders would double the number of referrals, is $706 012 one potential additional annual cost involved in such an expansion, for example, cost of doubling the resourcing of existing restorative justice unit plus cost of an additional convenor position.
