Return to Work Scheme

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:49): Supplementary: does the minister have confidence in the ReturnToWork board?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, you can answer the question.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:49): I thank the honourable member for his question. I have not had a meeting with all members of the ReturnToWork board; I will seek to do that in the future. I have had concerns raised with me that return to work rates have been cut over time, aggressively perhaps, and also that no provision seems to have been made in contemplation of the Summerfield decision, so they will be issues I will be raising with the board.
