Australian Craniofacial Unit

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Supplementary: given the original question asked as to what action has been taken over the last two weeks, apart from an independent review about, as I think the minister has informed the chamber, a specific recruitment process, what actual action has the minister or his department taken in relation to Professor David's concerns over the last two weeks?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:32): Considering that the nub of Professor David's concerns related to the appointment process, it was certainly important for myself and the government to be assured that due process had been undertaken. I look forward to reading the independent review. I have certainly had discussions, too, with SA Health to assure myself that the Australian Craniofacial Unit is continuing to develop as a multidisciplinary unit with a, shall we say, whole-of-life approach. It is very important, in Professor David's vision, which the Australian Craniofacial Unit continues to live by, that people can be given cradle to the grave care.
