11. Health Ministry—Performance Improvement Framework ReviewDr DAVID CLARK (Labour—Dunedin North) to the Minister of HealthHealth Ministry—Performance Improvement Framework Review11. Dr DAVID CLARK (Labour—Dunedin North) to the Minister of Health: Has a recent review of the ministry been undertaken by Paula Rebstock; if so what were its findings?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN (Minister of Health): As the State Services Commissioner has said today: SSC started working with the Ministry of Health on a scheduled PIF review in February this year. The review is currently in progress and the review report is in the process of being drafted. Once the review report is completed it will be published on the SSC website. This is expected to happen in the next few months."Dr David Clark: How long has the Minister had a version of the report and how long does he expect to sit on it before it is released?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: I have been quite clear quoting directly the State Services Commissioner that the report has not been completed and is still in the process of being written so I think this question is rather premature. I would be happy to answer the question when the report is released as the State Services Commissioner says in the next few months.Dr David Clark: Has he seen a draft of the report?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: Look I think the member needs to remember that this is the State Services Commissioner's report. The report is not complete—as he said very explicitly the final report is months away. It is still in the process of being written.Grant Robertson: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker.Mr SPEAKER: Well I can imagine what it is. I am going to invite the member to ask the question again.Dr David Clark: Has the Minister seen a version of the report?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: I am aware of a draft copy of the report but it is far from complete. It would be very premature actually to waste time on this before the report has been finalised. As the State Services Commissioner says actually it is months away. The important thing is it is his report to release.Dr David Clark: Does he expect the report to paint a picture of performance at his ministry that he will be proud of?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: The story with these Performance Improvement Framework reviews is they are all about looking for areas to improve right across Government departments. There would be no point doing it if it was a rubber-stamping exercise. I expect that there will be a range of constructive suggestions there by which the Ministry of Health can raise its performance; otherwise what would be the point of doing it?Dr David Clark: Has the Minister received a request from any of the district health board chairs to meet following the recent Budget misallocation; if so when does he expect to meet with them?Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN: I have been in communication with the chair of chairs Jenny Black and we are looking at meeting sometime in the next few days. So yes I will be meeting with her but I am in touch with her on a very regular basis. Would you like to come to the meeting?Dr David Clark: Well yes please. Supplementary question—have I got one?Mr SPEAKER: All supplementary questions have been used by the Labour caucus today."
