Tassone, Mr B.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:24): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Correctional Services a question relating to Bruno Tassone.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Bruno Tassone has been awarded an out of court settlement of $100,000 which will be placed in the Prisoner Compensation Quarantine Fund. As the health services to Bruno Tassone were provided by the South Australian prison service part of SA Health, and those health services were related to the action that Mr Tassone brought, is the liability for paying the damages being shared by SA Health and the Department for Correctional Services?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:25): My understanding is that the Crown Solicitor's Office was conducting this matter in terms of payments in conjunction with SAICORP as the state's insurer. The honourable member is right to point out that prison health is a branch of our state health system, it falls under our health department in South Australia, but in terms of the payment, my understanding is that it was provided for by the state's insurer, SAICORP.
