Cancer Diagnosis Error

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Supplementary question in relation to the original answer: if the minister doesn't know who actually conducted the investigation, can the minister assure the chamber that it was an independent investigation?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:25): The advice I have received is that as soon as the CEO was made aware of the situation the CEO asked senior SA Medical Imaging and TQEH medical oncology staff to investigate Mr Burg's situation. On the basis of that advice, my understanding is that it was done by those staff.
