Five Queensland public servants face possible disciplinary action over their role in the disastrous health payroll debacle.

The Public Service Commission is examining what action should be taken against public servants adversely named in the Queensland Health payroll system inquiry report released earlier this month.

IT Minister Ian Walker told parliament on Thursday the commission's chief executive, Ian Maynard, has found five individuals should be issued show cause notices.

Mr Walker says they'll have to justify why they should not be disciplined for their role in the failed project.

"Further consideration is ongoing in relation to other public servants named in the inquiry," he said.
