HEALTH FUNDING

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): Has the Auditor-General interviewed, or requested an interview with, the minister or senior officers of SA Health or Treasury about this complaint?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:19): He certainly has not asked to interview me nor, as far as I am aware, any official either in the Department for Health or in Treasury, because the allegations that are made have no basis, and I presume the Auditor-General would view them as such. It is not for me to pre-empt what decision the Auditor-General would make but I would be very, very surprised if he took any interest in these supposed allegations.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary? You don't want to ask the minister if he will come back to the house? Alright, next question.
