SA Health, ICAC Report

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:21): Can the Minister for Health and Wellbeing explain what powers does the task force have to lay or refer criminal charges against any South Australian health employee it finds to have committed some criminal activity?

The PRESIDENT: That can't be a supplementary arising out of the original answer, but I am going to give the minister the option of responding. Minister, do you wish to?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22): I am happy to. My expectation is that as a task force they don't have any additional powers. I would be surprised if any of the people who would be appointed to such a task force would have those powers.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, you had a supplementary.
