Health Review

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): A further supplementary: I appreciate that the summary is in the material that you have presented to the parliament, minister, but in respect of the report, if you say that you are not able to release any of the balance of the report, why is that? Is there a confidentiality clause or some reason?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:21): Look, there is an enormous amount of work. There would be thousands and thousands of working documents that have gone into producing this report—both SA Health documents and data. We have released everything that we are able to release and we intend to release. It's now there, but it's simply not practice to release the working documents that are produced both within the department and by our advisers as part of these reforms.

The SPEAKER: The member for Florey is called to order for commenting on the alleged comment.

Ms Bedford interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Were you sneezing? Well, in that case, it sounded like comment to me but, obviously, I am in error. I will take your word for it that it was a sneeze. Deputy leader.
