SA Pathology

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:27): Has the minister, or to his knowledge the Treasurer, received any requests for meetings by Public Pathology Australia to discuss this issue pending the outcome of the PwC review?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:27): I have certainly had approaches from people representing Public Pathology services. I will certainly take on notice the question from the member. I should make clear that some meetings are held with myself, some meetings are held by my main ministerial advisers and some are held by the department.

The PRESIDENT: Before I give the call to the next member, can honourable members be mindful when asking supplementaries that you cannot ask a hypothetical question. Some of those questions came very close, if not were hypothetical. The minister can be asked questions, obviously, on the original answer, but not necessarily on matters that are outside the realm of his responsibilities. The Hon. Ms Bourke, your question.
