With the impending retirement of a number of directors general, the Public Sector Commissioner has taken the opportunity to renew leadership across the public sector. This renewal will ensure that government has the leadership in place to continue our world-leading response to the pandemic, help drive prosperity for our state and concentrate on service delivery. Some appointments will be on an acting basis to enable the Public Sector Commissioner, as the employer of the director general group, to undertake recruitment processes when they are required. The Public Sector Commissioner will place the departing directors general on “other functions” through her powers under the Public Sector Management Act. To ensure that we make the most of their skills and experience, each will undertake strategic projects in their ministers’ portfolios.

The PRESIDENT: Before I give the call to Hon Dan Caddy, I note that this is the honourable member’s inaugural speech to this place and the usual conventions apply, including listening to the honourable member in silence. HON DAN CADDY (North Metropolitan) [5.03 pm]: It is important to me that the first words I utter in this place are to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this place stands, the Whadjuk people of the proud Noongar nation. I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. This land is Whadjuk boodja— always was and always will be. I shared a flight to Canberra with the Governor nearly 15 years ago.

Hammat; Mrs Jessica Stojkovski; Mr D.A.E. Scaife; Mr H.T. Jones; Mrs Robyn Clarke; Ms Sabine Winton ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Amendment to Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR R.H. COOK (Kwinana — Minister for Health) [2.55 pm]: Prior to question time, we were talking about ambulances, and it would be important to note that Western Australia has the best ambulance response times in Australia. Although there are issues with transfer-of-care times at the moment, as a result of the pressures on our emergency departments, our patients get collected up quicker than anyone else. I might add that they are admitted to the hospital immediately if they are a category 1 or a critical or trauma patient. Ambulance ramping has a regrettable impact on our system, but our EDs continue to perform the best in the country with the fastest ambulance response times. This is an important point for people to note: they do an extraordinary job. I focus more on transfer of care because that is the statistic that is held with and recorded by the Department of Health and so it sits on the Department of Health website. I note that ramping is 30 per cent lower than what it was last month and that is pleasing. Obviously, we need to continue to see that trend go down, and we will continue to monitor the transfer-of-care times to make sure that we see improvements on that.

Roberts) took the chair at 9.00 am, acknowledged country and read prayers. ELECTORAL REFORM — REGIONAL REPRESENTATION Petition MR P.J. RUNDLE (Roe) [9.02 am]: I have a petition that has been certified by the clerks from 23 petitioners that is couched in the following terms — To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament Assembled. We, the undersigned, are strongly opposed to any cuts made by the McGowan Labor Government to regional voices in our Parliament. There is no doubt that regional WA is the engine room of our state and ripping away regional voices will only be harmful to the communities which help this state to grow and prosper. We therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to speak up for regional Western Australians and call on the Government to ensure there is no reduction in regional representation. And your petitioners as duty bound, will ever pray. [See petition 6.] FLU SEASON — VACCINATIONS Statement by Minister for Health MR R.H. COOK (Kwinana — Minister for Health) [9.03 am]: As we know, flu season is upon us. As such, I would like to update the house on this year’s campaign to ensure more Western Australians get vaccinated.
