AMA WA ACTION AGENDA

GOVERNANCE

Decision-making transparency

WHAT WE WANT

All decisions made by WA Health bureaucracy to have a sponsor or responsible person assigned to them, such as the chair of a committee or other delegated authority.

Decision-makers need to be identifiable.

WHY WE WANT IT

Lack of identification and responsibility regarding significant WA Health decisions is often identified by frontline healthcare workers as making it impossible to consult and communicate with decision-makers.

The AMA (WA) continues to encounter situations where decision-making authority is opaque, or where decisions are retrospectively reviewed, at the expense of the WA Health workforce.

WHEN IT’S DONE

Improved transparency and accountability in relation to performance and individual responsibility of WA Health decision-making.
