Ministerial Statement

PRISON CONDITIONS

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts) (10:33): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.D. HILL: Yesterday I was asked a question about a prisoner whose name is Jacqueline Davies. I was asked when I first became aware of her case. I indicated using my memory that I only became aware of her case during the week as it was reported in the media. My memory is not as good as my staff's access to our files. I am now advised that I received a briefing in relation to this matter on 25 February which indicated the prisoner's care was subject to regular high-level review between Health and Corrections. So, I wish to correct the record and apologise to the house and the public for my error.
