Is the minister aware of whether any departmental officers, located either within his ministerial office or the health department, listen to question time and review the answers for their accuracy?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:35):</by>  A number of officers in both my ministerial office and in the department do overview parliamentary business. The fact of the matter is that a lot of material comes through the ministerial office and this was very much in the early stages. I was appointed, I think, on 22 March, and it took some time to establish the office and have it operating as effectively as we would all wish. In fact, I have only completed appointing all my staff in recent weeks.</text>
