In reply to Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (1 November 2016).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier): I am advised:

1. The Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) has developed and currently runs procurement information sessions open to all staff. These sessions promote procurement awareness, provide a range of information on procurement related matters, provide an overview of the departmental procurement framework and present information on the government's procurement reform strategy. Information sessions have been held during August to November 2016. DPC will continue to run these sessions as part of its ongoing commitment to the continuous improvement of departmental procurement practices and processes.

2. Ministerial staff who have attended these workshops are my Chief of Staff, Office Manager and Senior Administration/Accounts Officer.

3. Ingrid Haythorpe, Deputy Chief Executive has attended a workshop. Tahnya Donaghy, Deputy Chief Executive and Kym Winter-Dewhirst, Chief Executive are yet to attend a workshop.
