          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:53):</by>  In relation to was I consulted before this report was prepared, my understanding is that I wasn't. In terms of the report itself, I was not provided with it. It was an internal working document by CALHN. In terms of any future re-engagement of KordaMentha, the fact of the matter is that KordaMentha is a highly respected set of advisers but I am aware of no suggestion that they be re-engaged.</text>
