HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): My question, again, is to the Treasurer. Will the Treasurer confirm that, at the end of the financial year 2010-11 there were over $200 million worth of unexplained transactions in the health department as a result of the new financial systems approved by the Minister for Health?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Treasurer, Minister for Workers Rehabilitation, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:20): Again, that is more a question that would be better directed to the Minister for Health. I am not quite sure why the opposition would wait for a day when they knew the Minister for Health was not going to be here. When they knew—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: —that the Minister for Health was not going to be here, I am sort of scratching—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Treasurer, can you sit down.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I have got no idea what the Treasurer is saying. I cannot hear the words.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Pengilly: Babes in the woods!

The SPEAKER: Member for Finniss, you are warned. The Treasurer.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I am scratching my head, Madam Speaker, wondering why the opposition would wait to ask these questions on a day when they realised that the Minister for Health was not going to be here. Nonetheless, I am aware that there have been issues with the implementations of new IT systems in the Department of Health, but, as to the details and amounts, I am more than happy to come back to the chamber with a full report.
