          <by role="member" id="4846">Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:59):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Why did it take the minister until early 2020 for her to change incident reporting procedures given the recommendations of the Debelle report?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4340">The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:59):</by>  As I have stated many times in this house, the critical incident policy and procedure was updated as a result of the Ann Marie Smith case. The Premier instructed all ministers to go through and have a look and make sure that it was satisfactory. This is the procedure that was already in place. I can only assume it was a policy designed under the former Labor government. As soon as I saw that I was notified lower down, I had that amended. It was changed as of May.</text>
