Royal Adelaide Hospital Gynaecological Services

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:11): A supplementary question: can the minister assure the council that SA Health did not tell the media, and therefore the public, that facts asserted were untrue when in fact they were true?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:12): I am just not in a position to be able to provide a commentary in respect of the specific comments to which the honourable member refers. What I have stated previously, and I am happy to repeat, is that if the Hon. Mr Brokenshire has a particular inquiry regarding a particular matter, is that if he provides that information to us, provided he indeed is not breaching confidentiality in undertaking that himself, then we can conduct an analysis from my ministerial office. If there is information that we are able to share with both him and the Hon. Mr Wade, since he has now expressed an interest, then we will gladly consider it.
