Hibbert Review

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:05): Will the minister advise whether families were given the opportunity to provide evidence to the Hibbert report?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:06): I will take that on notice but I will be surprised if that was necessary because the individual case reviews were continuing right through this process and the semi-systemic review that Associate Professor Hibbert was doing was about common factors. My understanding about what the SAAS executive found was that there seemed to be clinical management issues that had been raised within this cluster. So the issue that Associate Professor Hibbert was focusing on was clinical management. Nonetheless, I am happy to take it on notice to see whether Associate Professor Hibbert did engage families in his work.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, the last one was pushing the boundaries. I will allow you to ask a further supplementary. I am keen to move on.
