KNIGHT, PROF. J.

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. In addition to the $3.7 million settlement for the former director of the Cardiac and Thoracic Surgical Unit at Flinders Medical Centre, Professor John Knight, what were the costs incurred for private legal counsel and what were the costs for the Crown Solicitor's Office to fight the case?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:48): It would have been funded through SAICORP, so it is probably a question better directed to the Minister for Finance, but I am happy to get an answer to the question.
