SA Health

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:48): Supplementary: just for clarification, minister, are you saying that you will endorse the inquiry by the commissioner, that it will go ahead? Will the government be providing the resources for the commissioner to conduct such an inquiry?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:48): Let me be clear: I am the health minister. I am responsible for the health department. As minister, I would welcome an inquiry, but the point that I am trying to make is that the ICAC has a standing budget. Any requests for additional resources are not matters for me as the subject minister. It is an issue for the Treasurer and the Attorney-General.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, do you have a further supplementary?

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Can I ask one of the Treasurer?

The PRESIDENT: No. Unfortunately, for supplementaries, you are committed when you ask your first question. The Hon. Mr Hanson.
