PAXTON REPORT

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:17): My question is to the Minister for Health. Will the minister now release the 700-page Paxton report, for which the government paid nearly $1 million? On 12 February 2008 I asked the minister to release the Paxton report. On 1 April 2008 the minister tabled a report of Paxton Consultancy dated 25 February 2008, being a summary of the recommendations made.

On 2 April 2008 I asked the minister to release the rest of the Paxton report, including accompanying documents. The minister said that he would look into the matter, but asserted that the report that he had tabled was the one he had taken to cabinet. The opposition is informed that the full 700-page report is still in the Department of Health.

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (15:17): I tabled the report that was given to me. It was taken to cabinet. There are background materials. I am happy to have those looked at to see whether there is anything in there that might be of assistance to the deputy leader.
