The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Health and Hospital Care The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:30): I can answer that there was a particular claim that four resuscitation cubicles were occupied with high demand on staff. A patient was inadvertently given 50 units of medication instead of five. Staff quickly recognised the error and rectified it, and the patient did not come to any harm. The patient and family were given a detailed explanation as to what happened, and an apology was given and accepted shortly after the incident. That is one particular case that I am aware of, and that is the advice from my department. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Supplementary? Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Mr MARSHALL: Yes.
