          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:41):</by>  What I said is that I am aware of the incident because I do receive these incident management reports. When I answered his initial question, I was responding to probably prior questions that he had asked me about matters going back historically, and the one from 2018 was certainly front of mind at that stage. I can assure him that I do receive these reports and they are followed up, and those particular allegations I will take back to my department and ensure that they are properly investigated.</text>
        <text id="20200617aea69001ffb74945b0000105">In the meantime, if any individuals have specific matters that they would like to raise, I am more than happy to take those on, because clearly if there are any further matters that should be investigated that haven't been, then that needs to be done post haste.</text>
