          <by role="member" id="5413">The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:37):</by>  My question is for the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Was Dr Ben Grave, a senior oral surgeon, pushed out of his position as a visiting medical officer at the unit without even an interview? Does the government share the concerns of South Australian of the Year, Professor David David, that there are impacts upon patients by the removal of Dr Ben Grave from the Australian Craniofacial Unit? Why won't the government accept Professor David David's recommendations and use Dr Ben Grave's existing clinical academic position with patients' treatment rights to reinstate him in the unit?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:38):</by>  As I said, I met with Professor David on 9 July, and following that meeting I sought further briefings and a review of the selection process. The review found the selection process was sound and in accordance with SA public sector recruitment and selection processes. It is not my intention to name anybody who was an applicant, successful or otherwise, in relation to that process. As I said, there are issues coming out of both the briefings and the review of the selection process, which raised more questions for me, which I will be seeking. But in relation to individuals, I have no intention to address an individual's situation without their permission. I hope the honourable member has done likewise.</text>
