ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (14:43): My question is to the Premier. When was the Premier first informed about the missing USB flash drive, which contained information regarding the new RAH and which was the subject of a ministerial statement by the Minister for Health on 18 June 2009, and by whom?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts) (14:43): Of course, I am the responsible minister. I advise the house as follows. On Tuesday 2 June an employee of the Department of Health's Major Projects Office lost a USB flash drive containing an electronic copy of some new RAH working files. Later that day the employee advised his director in the Major Projects Office of the loss of the drive. An extensive search has been undertaken and the drive has not yet been located. Both the Treasurer and I were advised of this event by our respective departments on Friday 12 June. This matter has been reported to SAPOL and the Crown Solicitor's Office, and the government's internal and external probity advisers have also been apprised of this event.

The matter has been comprehensively investigated by the Crown Solicitor's Office and its Government Investigations Unit. That investigation has, to date, included very detailed electronic analysis of relevant systems and detailed interviews with relevant persons. The results are anticipated in the near future. I am advised that it would be premature at this stage to comment further on the specifics of that investigation. All the things that ought to have been done by the government have been done.
