The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Supplementary arising from the answer, where in most usual circumstances under responsible government the minister would be responsible for things SA Health do, but apparently not in this case. My supplementary is: given that this is a matter for SA Health and not for the minister in any way, shape or form, what advice has the minister sought from SA Health about the claiming of privilege, and has he asked his department on what basis this privilege is being claimed by his officers?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:24): I was made aware of conversations between police and SA Health, but at all times it remained a matter between SA Police and SA Health.
