Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): A further supplementary for the Minister for Health and Ageing: can the minister advise the house whether he was warned by his department about the possible implications of instituting a multimillion dollar damages claim against Allscripts, and was he warned that Allscripts might lodge and be successful with a much larger counterclaim?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:47): I certainly have no recollection of any such advice, but I will double check my records and get back to the house.
