Corruption watchdog examines Healthway

Healthway officials are facing a separate investigation by Western Australia's corruption watchdog over a ticket perks scandal.

The Public Sector Commission examined the health promotion foundation's sponsorship arrangements, reporting last week that some corporate hospitality and tickets to sporting and concert events - worth about $220,000 - had been given by the board and senior management to family and friends.

The scandal has already resulted in the axing of former executive director David Malone, who reportedly received a payout of $260,000 - the equivalent of one year's salary plus entitlements - and the resignation of chairwoman Rosanna Capolingua.

Premier Colin Barnett has also urged the rest of the board to step down.

A Corruption and Crime Commission spokeswoman told AAP the watchdog had investigated Healthway with the Public Sector Commission late last year and was continuing its investigations into issues that were beyond the jurisdiction of the PSC.

"The Commission welcomes the report on the PSC investigation and will consider any matters of misconduct and criminality that may arise from that report," she said.

Mr Barnett told Fairfax radio on Thursday that Healthway's future would be considered by the government in coming weeks.

"Whether it survives, whether it becomes part of the health department, but the programs will continue and sponsorships will continue," he said.

"I imagine it will probably continue, but there will be very fundamental changes to the structure of Healthway."

If Healthway continued with a board, it would be modelled along the lines of Lotterywest, which reported to the premier but acted independently, he said.
