          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Human Services about functions of government. Does the minister or any member of her immediate family still hold shares or other interests in Sonic Healthcare Limited as revealed by the most recent Register of Members' Interests? If the minister or any of her family members do hold any shares in Sonic Healthcare Limited, does the minister consider the Ministerial Code of Conduct would require the minister to declare such a conflict and recuse herself from any discussion involving Clinpath or any matter to do with private pathology services?</text>
