KordaMentha

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:37): My question is for the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Although the minister refuses to answer whether the original contract with KordaMentha was entered into in accordance with the Treasurer's Instructions, can the minister advise whether the original contract with KordaMentha was entered into in accordance with the state procurement guidelines?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:37): So the question was whether or not it was entered into in accordance with the—

The Hon. E.S. Bourke: State procurement guidelines.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: —state procurement guidelines? It was certainly entered into within procurement guidelines, but if the honourable member is asking me what involvement the State Procurement Board had, I will take that on notice.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a supplementary.
