Question Time

Paediatric Cochlear Implant Program

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (14:11): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Were there any concerns about the internal review of the Cochlear Implant Program brought to the minister's attention and, if so, when? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: The Premier stated in his press conference on 21 August this year that the internal review undertaken by the Women's and Children's Health Network wasn't up to scratch to get to the bottom of exactly what was going wrong.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:12): I was in repeated dialogue particularly with Little Allied Health as part of that process and was raising their concerns that they were having about the program with the Women's and Children's Health Network. However, I think that what we see in the report itself has obviously gone through a significant amount of work by that expert panel to look at the processes in relation to what happened and to make sure that those processes are improved for the future.
