Pathology Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): A supplementary arising from the question: does the minister have any recollection of discussing any matter with representatives from Clinpath or Sonic Healthcare at a Liberal Party event?

The PRESIDENT: Just before you answer that, Minister for Health and Wellbeing, that was very much like your original question, the honourable Leader of the Opposition. You are actually supposed to ask a different question, if you are going to ask a supplementary.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: A question arising from the answer, where the minister referred to whether he had had discussions about the privatisation of pathology services. Has the minister had discussions with anybody about the privatisation of pathology services at a Liberal Party event?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:19): I have answered that question. I refer the honourable member to my previous answer.
