SA Pathology

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:15): My question is to the Minister for Health. Will the minister release the report of SA Health's investigation into the use of covert surveillance camera equipment at SA Pathology?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:15): I will get some advice from the department about whether that's appropriate or not. It was not a report to me: it was a report to the chief executive of the department. The findings were, essentially, that nothing illegal had happened, but I think, as the Premier and I both said when it was revealed these recordings were taking place, we both considered it inappropriate and the review found that as well but that nothing illegal had taken place. However, certainly as far as I am concerned, these sorts of incidents shouldn't happen again unless there is involvement of SAPOL.
