McGowan, Dr C.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:28): What advice did you give to the Premier about Dr Chris McGowan's suitability to be the Chief Executive of SA Health before the Premier personally signed off the contract, and what steps did you take before the Premier signed that contract to ensure that he had resigned his board membership with Silver Chain?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:28): Appointments of chief executives are completely a decision for the Premier. Certainly, we had discussions in relation to that appointment, but those contracts are with the Premier. They are managed by the Premier.
