Australian Craniofacial Unit

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:39): My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Health. Have any other doctors from the Craniofacial Unit raised concerns with the government regarding changes at the Craniofacial Unit?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:39): I'm not in a position to say yes or no to the question because I genuinely don't know the answer, but what I can assure the member is that the Minister for Health is looking at this independent review. The answer to the question will be in that independent review, and that independent review will guide the Minister for Health's decisions with regard to what to do with the Australian craniofacial foundation. With regard to whether any other doctors expressed any other concerns, it won't surprise the member to know that I am not in a position to answer that question. I have not seen the report myself. I suspect very few people have seen it. As I said, it has gone to the minister today.
