the Minister for Health:
I note the letter written by the
Minister for Health to the director general of the Department of Health, Dr Russell-Weisz,
on 20 August 2018, which sought urgent confirmation of departmental responses
to the revelations of the Corruption and
Crime Commission's report into practices at the North Metropolitan

minister received a response from Dr Russell-Weisz; and, if not, when does he
expect to receive a response and how has this expectation been communicated
directly to Dr Russell-Weisz?
(2) Will the
minister table Dr Russell-Weisz's response if it has been or when it is
received; and, if not, why not?

minister outline all the occasions on which he or his office have had
interactions with Dr Russell-Weisz since the CCC tabled its report on 16 August
