Question
(Health budget information to Treasury)
[UPT page 42]
MS CASTLEY: When Treasury informed about the situation in the health portfolio with regard to the budget?
Mr Barr: Well, you would need to ask the Treasurer. I can take that on notice on his behalf if you would like.
MS CASTLEY: That would be great, thank you. And when did Treasury first provide you with analysis, advice or briefings about the situation or its implications for the budget?
Mr Barr: Well, Treasury did not, because I was not the Treasurer after the election. But I will take on notice when the Treasurer was provided that information.
THE CHAIR: As Chief Minister, when were you made aware of it?
Mr Barr: Well, as part of the midyear review update process. I will take on notice the date of the first ERC meeting if that would be helpful for the committee.
