Question Time

Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): My question is to the Minister for Health. Does the minister agree with the statement made by Dr David Pope from SASMOA yesterday that these reforms, and I quote:

…will cost lives. You can't have just three major emergency departments in Adelaide and not see people suffer and die unnecessarily as a result.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:03): No, I don't; of course I don't.
