Chemotherapy Treatment Error

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier provide some clarity on his comments that the victims of the chemotherapy dosing error were always going to have their legal costs paid for by the government, given that the government insurers made no offers to victims to cover their legal costs when providing advice in April this year? When was this offer for legal compensation made, and can the Premier provide any hard evidence of this offer to cover the legal costs?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:17): That's my advice, and I will bring back some further details for the house from the people that provided me that advice.

Mr Gardner: Oh, dear!

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta is warned. The member for Little Para.
