SCRIVEN:</by>  Earlier in this question time, the minister referenced a statement that he said was from Dr McGowan, his Chief Executive of SA Health, to the Budget and Finance Committee. Given that members of that committee have not received that correspondence, can the minister explain how he has a copy and can he advise the chamber if that statement includes Dr McGowan referencing the fact that he said he certainly had not attended a Liberal Party fundraiser, when in fact Silver Chain had provided him with a statement that he had attended at least four?</text>
