The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Environment and Conservation Minister for Early Childhood Development Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management PUBLIC SECTOR WORKFORCE DATA The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management): I have been advised of the following: In the Estimates Committee of June 25, 2009 the Commissioner for Public Employment advised that the annual report on public sector workforce information for the year ending June 2008 would be provided by the end of July 2009. This undertaking was based on an understanding of circumstances at the time. Unfortunately there were some unforeseen difficulties for the specific set of data required by the Commissioner. The tables were loaded progressively onto the website of the Office for Ethical Standards and Professional Integrity following final confirmation of the validity of the data by agencies, and the report has now been released. A number of improvements to the processes of data collection and analysis have occurred over the past year and indications, to this point in time, are that the 2009 collection will be completed before the end of this year.
