Coronial Investigations

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:57): Supplementary question: given the minister's indication that he won't amend the Health Care Act to cover these concerns raised by the Coroner, will he consider making the information in the root cause analysis reports available to the Coroner on a confidential basis so that they can continue to conduct their inquiry? In other words, protect it in a protected circumstance not being used against the practitioners?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:58): If the Coroner made that request, I would certainly give it careful consideration. To my knowledge, that's not a request he has made.
