Public Accounts Committee

Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Ms Laura Burke:

There have been reviews of the work on radon and what has worked, which we can send to the committee. To answer the Deputy's statement about the State having invested money, it is a combination of what has worked at a house level and what has worked at a policy level. That is critical because some of it is about getting individuals to take actions but if there is a policy around the building of houses, that reduces the need to do things on a house-by-house basis. It would be useful if we sent the committee information on the radon control strategy, what has worked, etc.
