MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:33):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer where the member indicated that there will be a six-month review commencing in September about SA Pathology services. Will the review be entirely focused on the best health outcomes and not be at all focused on the cost of providing these services?</text>
