An investigation into South Australia's top health bureaucrat has criticised his handling of potential conflicts of interest, as well as his record keeping, in the months following his appointment.At the time he took up the role, he was still the director of a private care provider in PerthBut the SA Government said SA Health chief executive Dr Chris McGowan would remain in the job and had retained its"complete confidence".
The independent investigator's report — one of two into the health system released today — found he did not step down from his private-sector role for"more than two months after" he took up the job. "Dr McGowan could appropriately maintain some contact with former Silver Chain colleagues after his appointment as chief executive," the report stated.
"Dr McGowan acknowledges this failure. Those arrangements could have included better record keeping of contacts with Silver Chain officials, and direct written and oral engagement with SA Health officials on probity risks."
