          <by role="member" id="1804">The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:22):</by>  I thought I had, and I won't try to repeat what the Hon. Michelle Lensink has said in relation to the general process that occurs outside of the Smith case. I have made that clear. There was a very comprehensive outline by the minister yesterday to the parliament as to how the process works, how the information is populated and transferred in it under the current law relating to screening tests generally.</text>

        <text id="20200604c15d4a3d5ff24f9290000384">She is very much in charge of the day-to-day operation of that, but I make the point that the applicability of our law in relation to screening tests is a matter in respect of Integrity Care which is under investigation. Our government will continue to support whatever inquiries the police are making and, indeed, the other inquiries that are occurring via the judicial inquiry at the national level and the task force inquiry here, and we will, of course, in relation to the future coronial inquiry. But at the moment I cannot offer any other information as to whether there has been compliance or any other matter. That is a matter for police investigation.</text>
