I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(4) The
Attorney General has not yet discussed the matter with the full cabinet. Given
the Coroner's Court recommendation to amend the Health (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act 2011 was prepared for the ultimate deliberation of the cabinet,
the Attorney General is not in a position to expand on the recommendation. He
can, however, confirm that there was only one recommendation from the Coroner's
Court, and the Department of Justice and the Department of Health are working
together to progress the matter at a departmental level.
