SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:27):</by>  We have procedures in place and we constantly engage with clinicians about EPAS and about how we can make EPAS work better. I have certainly made no secret that there have been issues with EPAS, like there would be any IT system. That is why we have rolled it out at relatively small sites—so that we can deal with these issues before we roll out EPAS to big sites like the Flinders Medical Centre and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.</text>
