          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:34):</by>  A supplementary question, if I may: I am beginning to notice the distinction the minister is making between the findings of the review, which indeed the Premier undertook to make public, and the review itself, which the Premier committed to make available to the family. I therefore ask: can the minister assure the house that the victims will not be subject to any gag order in relation to the report of the forensic investigation report?</text>

MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:34):</by>  I am not aware of any gag order ever being applied by the government in such circumstances, certainly not up to this point. Mr Knox and other chemo dosing error victims have been on the public record regarding their circumstances for some time, and I have to say that I welcome that. Their advocacy and their pain should be public because it helps inform the government's response to this, amongst other things, and helps to make a contribution to preventing any of these things ever happening again.</text>
