          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28):</by>  I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. Professor David David and I did meet since the parliament last sat. We met on 9 July to discuss his concerns. It would be fair to say Professor David had a range of concerns, but I think the most acute would be in relation to the recruitment process for visiting medical officers for the Australian Craniofacial Unit. In response to those concerns, I have commissioned an independent review of the recruitment process. It has been undertaken by a senior corporate services officer from the Department of Human Services. I have been advised that my office received the independent review of the recruitment process earlier today. I will consider the report and make a statement after I have considered it.</text>
