SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:14):</by>  What I am telling the house is that this is a process about consistency of quality, and everything we have done so far are all the proposals about getting consistency of quality. Of course, as we get better quality across the system, as we get more consistent quality across our health system, we expect that will lead to savings because we are going to have more consistent bed stays in hospital, we are going to have earlier discharges, we are going to have fewer people having to return to hospital because something has gone wrong. All of those things will lead to a better quality health system and a more efficient health system and will inevitably lead to savings.</text>
