McGowan, Dr C.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Was your Chief Executive of SA Health, Dr Chris McGowan, accompanied by any other staff or probity advisers when he visited his former company Silver Chain in Perth for 90 minutes on 15 February 2019? Did the minister's chief executive, Dr McGowan, meet with Wellbeing SA head, Lyn Dean, the very morning after his visit to Silver Chain on 12 June to talk about Integrum? Did Dr McGowan have any discussion with the minister or public servants in SA Health about his visit to Silver Chain on 15 February 2019 or did he write any report for the minister or any public servants on the outcome of his visit?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:42): I am happy to take that question on notice.

The PRESIDENT: There is no supplementary available out of that, unfortunately.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Point of order: this is about reports to the minister. Is the minister saying that he has no idea what Dr McGowan has reported to him about Silver Chain?

The PRESIDENT: That is a new question and one of your members can ask that. It's quite a legitimate question to ask, but a supplementary has to come out of the original answer and the minister has taken it on notice.
