Pearson, Mr R.

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:47): My question is again to the Premier. Will the New South Wales-based Hardie Group's role in recruiting the new health board chairs now be reviewed following the allegations raised in regard to their recruitment of Mr Ron Pearson?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:47): That is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Department for Health and Wellbeing, Dr Chris McGowan. I have absolute confidence that Dr McGowan conducts recruitment exercises in accordance with best practice.
