McGowan, Dr C.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:28): Supplementary: will the minister publicly release all the advice, minutes and authorisations that he referred to yesterday in the parliament that Dr Chis McGowan endorsed regarding Silver Chain appointments?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:28): I fail to see how that's a supplementary on the original question.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, a supplementary?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Yes, but for clarification for the minister, it is supplementary because it referred to the minister's answer in question time yesterday to a number of questions.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: You can't ask a supplementary on yesterday's question, but you can ask a new question.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Sorry, Mr President, my first question today was about yesterday's questions and the minister's answers. That's why it's a supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: It is a very loose thread and that's why I allowed you to ask it, but the minister is entitled to answer how he chooses. Do you have another supplementary?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Is the minister not going to answer the question?

The PRESIDENT: The minister has said what he is going to say on that topic, I think.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I will give you a chance at one more supplementary and then another one of your members can take up the issue, if they wish.
