          <by role="member" id="1819">The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS:</by>  I am glad the Hon. Russell Wortley has actually got his words correct. We recently received multiple replies from the Department for Correctional Services to freedom of information requests regarding details of the escape of Drew Claude Griffiths and his subsequent escape attempt from the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Prior to that we were told that due to ongoing investigations the requested documents could not be released. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20110928a2e6fe7c836c4c4080000126">1.&amp;#x9;How long has this investigation been active?</text>
        <text id="20110928a2e6fe7c836c4c4080000127">2.&amp;#x9;What are its terms of reference?</text>
        <text id="20110928a2e6fe7c836c4c4080000128">3.&amp;#x9;When will it be completed?</text>
        <text id="20110928a2e6fe7c836c4c4080000129">4.&amp;#x9;Will this council receive a copy of the report, and if not, why not?</text>
