8th February 2022 Dear Minister,

Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel Follow-Up Questions to Quarterly Public Hearing

Thank you for attending the Quarterly Public Hearing with the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel (the Panel) on 26th January 2022.

During the public hearing questions were raised to assist the Panel in its ongoing COVID-19 review work. The Panel were advised by the Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources that the minutes of the Competent Authorities contain conflict of interest declarations and that yourself and the Assistant Minister would look to hurry the receipt of the minutes. The Panel have not as yet received the Competent Authorities minutes and would request this information be provided as soon as possible.

Questions were also raised on the Co-Funded Payroll Scheme (the Payroll Scheme) being provided to businesses in response to COVID-19. The Panel would like to request further clarity on the financial value and number of businesses who have:

• applied for funding;

• received funding;

• repaid monies provided;

• appealed or are appealing the repayment of monies; and

• have had their request for repayment revised down or cancelled.

The Panel would also like to request that it receives a copy of the agreement which businesses agreed to obtain funding and documentation provided outlining the appeals process for the Payroll Scheme.

The Panel look forward to your response and would request this information be received by Monday 14th February 2022.

Yours sincerely

Senator Kristina Moore

Chair, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
