Australian Craniofacial Unit

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:29): My question is for the minister representing the Minister for Health. Why hasn't the government accepted Professor David David's recommendation to use Dr Ben Grave's existing clinical academic position, with patient treatment rights, to reinstate him in the unit?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:29): The report that came out yesterday, which is with the health minister, may or may not answer that question, but it would be completely inappropriate for me to say why that has happened, even if I knew the answer, without reference to that report. There is a report that has been undertaken to look into exactly the issue that the shadow minister has just asked about and others, so the shadow minister will have to wait until, and if, that report is made public.
