Chemotherapy Treatment Error

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): A question to the Minister for Health: given that the victims, with respect to this issue, have already requested a copy of the report from both the office of the Premier and the office of the minister, will the AHPRA report be released to them?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:32): That's entirely a matter for AHPRA. The report has been provided to me because I was one of the persons who made the referral to AHPRA, so they have written a report, a lengthy report, to me with the outcome of the investigations. That has been provided in confidence. I am not at liberty to reveal it. I understand that AHPRA themselves are bound by national law about exactly what they can and can't make public. As much as I would be happy to release the AHPRA report, unfortunately it's not my report. It's AHPRA's report, and AHPRA is bound by national law with regard to what they can reveal.
