K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Cancer Diagnosis Error The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding cancer bungles. Leave granted. The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council The Hon. K.J. MAHER: On ABC radio on Tuesday 11 June and again in this chamber today, the minister stated that meetings between Mr Claus Burg and the Central Adelaide Local Health Network will, and I think the quote from radio was, 'be taking place this week,' and of course that was last week. The minister also, I think, stated he would send an acknowledgement letter to Mr Claus Burg following a letter from both Mr Claus Burg and the member for Wright in April. My question to the minister is: was that accurate? What time and date did staff meet with Mr Burg and was an acknowledgement letter sent from the minister, as he stated on radio? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): In relation to the meeting with Mr Burg, I am not aware that the meeting has occurred, but my understanding is that the meeting has been offered. In relation to confirming that an acknowledgement letter was sent in accordance with normal practice, I will take that on notice.
