Hibbert Review

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Supplementary arising from the answer: to clarify the answer, is the minister informing the chamber that when he was briefed in December 2018 the Hibbert inquiry was finished and that the minister was briefed on the report and that was the first he knew of it?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:44): A brief came to the department and my officers advised me. The report had been initiated, but my understanding is that that work went right through to this month. In fact, Professor Hibbert's report, which I have in front of me, which has been made public and the member could have looked at, is dated February 2019.
