House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Question Time Noarlunga Hospital Noarlunga Hospital Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition Noarlunga Hospital Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:10): My question is to the Minister for Health. Given the reports today by SASMOA that the Noarlunga emergency department had no doctor on a Saturday night last month, will the minister rule out any suggestions that he or his department is considering only opening the emergency department between nine and five on weekdays? 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 Noarlunga Hospital The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:10): I think it would be highly unlikely that we would be moving to a nine to five operation for the emergency department at Noarlunga. Mr Tarzia interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Hartley is called to order. The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I have seen the reports from the doctors union into Noarlunga Hospital. I am concerned about those reports. My understanding is that the chief executive of the southern area local health network has had a meeting with SASMOA to discuss these reports, and I will be looking to get a report back on those allegations as soon as possible. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Supplementary, leader.
