SA Health and Medical Research Institute

In reply to the Hon. S.L. GAME ().12 September 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

The responsibility for selecting a provider for proton therapy in South Australia was that of SAHMRI and the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research. SAHMRI is an independent entity and as such the government did not have oversight or obligations in regard to establishing contractual arrangements with ProTom as provider.

The Department of Treasury and Finance oversee the state government's financial and contractual arrangements with SAHMRI for this project.
