The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:33): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Health and Wellbeing a question regarding border exemptions.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: On radio this morning, Professor Spurrier said there would be an external investigator. She said, 'we're looking forward to having an external person come in and just go through all of our processes'. My questions of the minister are: what happened between Professor Spurrier saying this morning there would be an inquiry from an external person and the Premier just hours later announcing his own department would conduct the investigation internally? Will the scope of the investigation include any other border exemption approvals that should not have been granted?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:33): I am not aware of any proposal for a review other than the DPC review. My understanding is that when Professor Spurrier used the word 'external' she meant not SA Health.
