Site Contamination, Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): My question is for the Minister for Health. Has the Chief Public Health Officer, or any other Public Health officer, advised the minister that the Clovelly Park TCE contamination is not a public health issue?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:55): I haven't received any form of briefings from Health on this matter. Health's relationship, or Public Health's relationship is directly with the EPA and they provide technical advice to the EPA as and when required and, presumably, the EPA then brief the relevant minister, who is minister Hunter.
