How does the minister respond to comments made by emergency physician Dr Megan Brooks regarding the Griggs-McNeil report and will he now instigate a new investigation as a result? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <inserted>So there was a flaw in their investigation of whether there were…any incidents. I have subsequently raised this with Professor McNeil, and I believe it was acknowledged that the correct process wasn't applied. If they had taken the time to speak to experienced emergency clinicians we would have told them where to look. I am not sure who they spoke to.</inserted>

PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:34):</by>  I think clearly the shadow minister has an ongoing campaign to try to sully the reputation of Dr Bill Griggs and Professor Keith McNeil. I support Dr Bill Griggs and I support Professor Keith McNeil, who independently looked into this matter and have provided a report. Clearly, the outcome of that and the words of that speak for themselves, and the government is implementing the recommendations of that.</text>
