          <by role="member" id="5414">The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:02):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the minister read the recent letter to him from South Australian of the Year, Professor David David, detailing his 'deep concerns about the status and future of the Australian Craniofacial Unit'? Further, what is your initial response to the concerns raised?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:03):</by> I thank the honourable member for her question. Normally, I would give the person who writes me a letter the courtesy of a response rather than giving it in the house. Nevertheless, on 14 November 2018, I received a letter from Professor David which both reiterated some concerns that he previously conveyed to me and also mentioned some others. I am considering a range of issues in relation to the Australian Craniofacial Unit, including those raised in the letter. There is no further update for the chamber at this time.</text>
