McGowan, Dr C.

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:34): Supplementary based on that response: does the minister still maintain confidence in his chief executive, given what has transpired between his office and the independent investigator?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:35): Let me be clear: I have confidence in my chief executive. I am not accepting the tale because I am not going to go into conversations with independent investigators. Labor might like to play out the soap opera, in question time, of 'he said, she said'. I am going to respect the independent investigator and the important task that he has.
