          <by role="member" id="3128">The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (15:01): </by> I have a supplementary question. Is the minister saying that Mr Keith Evans, a director of Drug and Alcohol Services, who was in charge of the NGO sector and was responsible for the service agreements for the organisation DrugBeat of South Australia, does not report back to her on the requirements of people to work in the drug and alcohol sector? What is the minimum training required?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1821">The Hon. G.E. GAGO: </by> It is outrageous to suggest that a chief executive would provide me with information that would go to the detail of all the person specifications and qualifications of every single person. That is an administrative matter and chief executives are expected to get on with it. That is their job and that is what they are employed to do. If there is an issue of concern—as has been raised today—it is appropriate and reasonable that that level of detail be sought. I have indicated that I do not have that level of detail here with me today. I am happy to obtain the information and bring it back to the chamber.</text>
