In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (25 July 2018).

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

1. The Women's and Children's Health Network (WCHN) has received contact from Dr Grave's lawyers.

2. A review of the selection process for Visiting Medical Officers was undertaken by WCHN to ensure the process complied with applicable public sector policies. This review was conducted by senior HR officers within the Department for Health and Wellbeing who were independent of the original selection process.

3. No. The ACFU, through funding from the South Australian government, supports up to 15 patients per year as international humanitarian cases. These patients are supported for their medical treatment and accommodation and living expenses while in South Australia. These cases continue to be welcomed and there is no plan from the government to alter current arrangements.
