Statewide Eating Disorder Service

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding delegations. Minister, prior to making the delegation more than a year after the election, who exactly at a ministerial level made decisions about eating disorder health care?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:29): The honourable member's question related to the paediatric eating disorder service, a commitment made by the Marshall Liberal team in opposition, highlighting yet again a gap in the services provided under the former government. The decisions in relation to eating disorders were made within the government. In terms of any conflicts of interest, they were managed at a later time in consultation with the Premier and with the cabinet office. A former delegation was put in place, and I thank the Minister for Human Services for her support in this area.
