Aged-Care CCTV Trial

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:29): Will the government specify that those people reviewing the CCTV footage as part of the trial in aged-care facilities be required to have any clinical qualifications and, if so, what qualifications will they be required to have?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:30): In a way, this relates to the issue raised yesterday, I think by the Hon. Justin Hanson, in relation to time frames. This is a tender. People are told what our basic needs are. The better they can do, the better their tender will sit in the evaluation process. We certainly are expecting, as a mandatory criterion, 24/7 monitoring. The professional skills that are available in that monitoring and the like are the factors that would be considered in the evaluation of tenders.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a further supplementary.
