Cancer Diagnosis Error

Mr BOYER (Wright) (14:48): My question is again to the minister representing the Minister for Health. Has Mr Claus Burg been offered any compensation for his cancer misdiagnosis?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:48): The member for Wright is moving from more medically based questions now to more legally based questions and, yes, of course, there is a connection between the two. Out of an abundance of caution, as well as wanting to give, again, the member for Wright as good and accurate an answer as I possibly can, I will take that up on his behalf with the Minister for Health and Wellbeing and come back with an answer.
