SENTINEL EVENTS

201 Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (31 July 2007). How many of the 42 sentinel events which occurred in South Australian public hospitals from 2004 to 2006 have still not been analysed to identify why they occurred?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I am advised:

There were 40 sentinel events reported by the public health services in South Australia for the 2004-06 period, consisting of 20 notifications in each year.

All have now been reviewed.
