Executive Appointments

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:15): My questions are to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing:

1. What open and transparent application assessment process occurred prior to the hiring of the new SA Health CEO?

2. Is the minister aware that anyone from his government held conversations with Mr Chris McGowan about hiring him as the new CE of Health before the state election?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:15): Appointments of the CEOs to government departments are a matter for the Premier. I will refer the Leader of the Opposition's questions to the Premier.
