WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY SENATOR B.E. SHENTON
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY, 5th DECEMBER 2006
Question
The Strategic Plan 2006 - 2011 incorporated approximately 70 actions that had a 2006 or early 2007 target deadline for completion. Would the Chief Minister inform members whether this target will be met in each case and, if not, give the reason for failure and a revised target for the action concerned?
Answer
The Council of Ministers has in place a process that reports 6-monthly on progress and status against all the initiatives in the Strategic Plan. These reports are timetabled to be produced at the end of June and the end of December each year and published shortly thereafter.
The first of these reports was produced in September (as the Strategic Plan was not approved by the States until late June) and is publicly available on the States website. This report indicates that there were very few significant delays at that time. The next report, showing the position as at the end of December, is scheduled to be produced during the first week of January.
To produce the information requested by Senator Shenton outside of this schedule and in so short a timescale would lead to significant duplication of effort and an unproductive use of officer time. The next report will be available for the first States sitting of 2007 on 16th January. This will include the information requested by Senator Shenton.
