          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:59):</by>  Well, Professor Nicola Spurrier is the Chief Public Health Officer and she sits within the Department for Health, which is a separate department from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. I have spoken with Professor Spurrier today, and she is delighted that DPC will be conducting this review. She is very happy. The Chief Executive of the Department for Health and Wellbeing is very happy to have some external eyes looking at the processes. They are always looking for ways to continuously improve their operation. I think it has been a fundamental part of their operations since day one.</text>
