          <by role="member" id="5414">The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:41):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Is the minister aware of concerns raised about a contract signed by the Chief Executive of the Central Adelaide Local Health Network, Lesley Dwyer, for a short-term consultancy with a personal contractor known to her, and does the minister share these concerns?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:42):</by>  This issue was raised by the media earlier today. I am yet to receive information, but I would ask the honourable member to reflect on the words she uses. Apparently, we are supposed to be horrified that somebody has entered into a contract with somebody they know. There are professional networks right around the world. If we are going to say that you can't employ anybody you have ever actually met, it's a pretty poor, strange concept of probity.</text>
