          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:40):</by>  The fact of the matter is that the chief executive of Health manages the health networks, including the CEOs. A number of the requests were to meet with CEOs of LHNs; they all answer to the chief executive. I will certainly be facilitating the visits by the shadow minister. It's normal practice for those visits to be coordinated by the minister's office, but they will be facilitated.</text>
