Question Time

SA Health, ICAC Report

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:17): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Health and Wellbeing regarding SA Health.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: On FIVEaa this morning, the minister was interviewed about the ICAC report into SA Health. The minister was asked when he received the report and whether he had read the report prior to it being tabled in parliament. The minister responded:

My understanding is that the report was given to the Attorney-General—there was a misunderstanding. I did get a copy of the report. I started to read it. When I became aware that I wasn't entitled to have it, I put it aside.

My questions to the minister are: will the minister confirm that he first received the ICAC report into SA Health on Friday and that he did not read the report at that time? Will the minister advise when he approved the government response to the ICAC report on SA Health?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:18): I refer the honourable member to the ministerial statement issued in the other place by the Attorney-General.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Point of order, Mr President: the ministerial statement does not relate to these two questions.

The PRESIDENT: I am not sure that is a valid point of order. The minister will answer how the minister is going to answer.
