Minister, have you or your predecessor received any correspondence from the federal health minister raising concerns in relation to the process of the selection of the supplier of the proton beam therapy unit in the SAHMRI 2 building? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:21): I have not seen any correspondence to date in the time that I have been minister of the nature that the honourable member refers to. That is not to say there might not be correspondence that has been received more recently that is in the process of making its way to my desk, but I can safely say that I personally have not seen such correspondence in the time that I have been minister. It may well be on its way or making its way to me. In respect of correspondence that has been received from the previous minister, I, naturally, have not had the chance to read every piece of correspondence or every letter that has been written to him, but I am more than happy to make inquiries regarding the specific question that the honourable member has raised.
