Dear Public Service Commission,

 

According to recent answers to parliament questions, the health sector
Transition unit inside DPMC appears to have spent more than $13million on
private sector business consultants to provide policy advice to Ministers.

 

1. What systems does the public service commission have in place to ensure
the quality of advice provided to ministers, when branches of agencies are
lead, managed and staffed primarily by private sector consultants?

 

2. What steps is PSC taking to protect against perceptions of corruption
in the public service in situations where a private sector business
consultant working to lead a team in the public service channels more than
$10m to their own private sector company?

 

3. What steps is the PSC taking to address the growing reliance on private
sector consultants to provide core public service functions, with
significant funding and workforce flowing to private sector companies at
the expense of growing and building capacity and capability in the public
sector, and significant differential in pay for staff.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Polly
