HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (14:54): My question is again to the Minister for Health. Are there any unreconciled health department accounts so far in the 2011-12 financial year, and if so, what is the dollar value involved?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts) (14:54): I thank the member for the question and I have some further information for his previous question. I am advised that $10,000 is about the amount that is unresolved in relation to that $7.5 million—so, virtually nothing, as I think I said—and nothing has been written off in terms of bills that have been paid twice. In relation to the current financial year, I am not aware of any particular issues, but I am happy to seek advice.

In relation to the process of reconciliation, the department is going through a reconciliation process because we are moving to a new financial accounting system, so they were looking at a range of processes which now have to be brought into the ambit of the new Oracle system. As we are now in Oracle, I am not sure that there would be a reconciliation problem but, if there is, I will certainly get advice for you.

Mr Marshall: Of course there is; there's one every month.

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr Marshall: Look it up on your Google.

The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Norwood, you are on your third warning. The member for Florey.
