Premier Anna Bligh has pledged to make public a preliminary report into Queensland Health's payroll bungle.
A snapshot of the problems that have plagued the introduction of a new payroll system will be made available to cabinet on Monday.
Ms Bligh said it was only a preliminary report and more detailed findings by consultants KPMG have still to come.
"I have given a commitment (to make it public)," Ms Bligh told reporters.
"What cabinet will be seeing (on Monday) is a preliminary report from KPMG and that will be released in full.
"There will be a much more comprehensive report that goes into the background over the last 12 to 18 months that really looks at all the decisions in relation to this system and that will take a bit longer.
"That will be made public when it is available."
Accountancy group KPMG was commissioned by the government in mid-April to investigate the bungle that's seen tens of thousands of Queensland Health staff underpaid, overpaid, or not paid at all, following the installation of new payroll technology in March.
Ms Bligh said the report will describe what has been done and what still needs to be implemented to meet Queensland Health's payroll requirements.
"The KPMG report will go into what they needed to do to stabilise the system and what still needs to be done to ensure that problems that have been experienced can be completely ironed out," Ms Bligh said.
"It's not possible to return to the old system. That system had to be replaced."
