1.2 Statement of Expectation and Statement of Intent
In line with the recommendations of the Review of Corporate Governance of Statutory Authorities and Office Holders (the Uhrig report), the then Minister for Health and Ageing, issued a Statement of Expectation setting out the strategic directions of the National Blood Authority for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007.
The General Manager was pleased to provide the then Minister with the National Blood Authority's Statement of Intent, outlining measures intended to be put in place to achieve the priorities identified in the Statement of Expectation.
The National Blood Authority achieved all identified priorities where the circumstances were within the organisation's control. Some priorities, when commenced, raised longer-term implications for wider strategy that required adjustments to completion dates. These activities remain a priority for the National Blood Authority and will be completed. Table 1 sets out the National Blood Authority's achievements against the Minister's Statement of Expectation and our Statement of Intent. These are only a few of the National Blood Authority's achievements during the year. Others are highlighted throughout this report. Some items were not progressed to the level expected. These delays are explained at page 69.
