          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (15:36):</by>  I thank the member for the question. Obviously, in relation to any incident where there have been clinical decisions made or any other decisions made, there's a level of operational to the question. In that context, and representing the Minister for Health, I will seek further advice and bring back an answer for the house.</text>
