Hibbert Review

In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (26 February 2019).

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

It is important not to conflate investigations of individual cases with the Hibbert review. Paramedics have been engaged in relation to the individual investigations of all 17 cases.

The Hibbert review did not replicate the individual investigations but looked at those investigations as a whole to determine whether there were any systemic issues. However, the Hibbert review did consider the comments provided by 150 clinicians who were given the opportunity to provide their views about the cluster of events through a series of focus groups led by SAAS.

I am therefore confident that the views of paramedics were taken into account in Professor Hibbert's report.
