Question Time

Families SA Adverse Events Review Committee

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Thank you, Mr Speaker and member for Croydon. My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. When did the Families SA Adverse Events Review Committee into the death of Chloe Valentine commence?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:31): I have referred the Chloe Valentine matter to the Child Death and Serious Injury Review Committee, and I will be meeting in the next week with the chair of that committee to discuss the progress of that review. Obviously, the legal matters in the court have been completed. We are yet to hear whether the Coroner is undertaking a review, and that could potentially delay the commencement of the Child Death and Serious Injury Review Committee. I would expect as soon as all legal matters are finalised that review will commence.
