NICOLE FEELY — APPOINTMENT TO SOUTH METROPOLITAN AREA HEALTH SERVICE
I ask a supplementary question. Would the minister write to Action on Smoking and Health and other organisations that have expressed concern about Ms Feely’s employment to state his confidence in her position and repudiate her involvement in working for tobacco companies? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

If any of those organisations write to me expressing concern about her appointment, I will be more than happy to write back to them and say that Ms Feely has no role on anything to do with cigarette smoking and that I have full confidence in her ability.
