Hibbert Review

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Now that the minister has had 24 hours to reflect on the answers he provided to the chamber yesterday and to seek further advice, can the minister advise precisely when he informed the Premier about the 17 adverse incidents, including the cluster of nine people who died unnecessarily following the adverse incidents involving ambulance calls; and exactly and by whom was the Hibbert report commissioned?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:05): I didn't take a question in relation to the Premier on notice. I stand by my answer yesterday, which is that I have ongoing discussions with the Premier on health matters. In relation to the Hibbert report, I understand that it was commissioned by the SAAS executive. It might have been commissioned by the CEO of SAAS. I am happy to take that on notice.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a supplementary?
