Enterprise Patient Administration System

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): Can the Treasurer explain to the people of South Australia how staff can be expected to learn how to operate this new system, a system plagued with issues since it was first envisaged, while still ensuring the safety and wellbeing of patients as they adjust to the new hospital?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:17): Our health system is one of the best in the world, and our nurses and doctors are dedicated public servants who ache to do the right thing by South Australians. They will be working tirelessly, as they always have, to give South Australians the very best health care they possibly can. Quite frankly, the remarks from the Leader of the Opposition today about can we guarantee good health care in our healthcare system—yes, we can, because our doctors and nurses, like our police, are dedicated public servants who are aching to do the right thing, and they won't be verballed by the Leader of the Opposition.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks what I imagine will be a supplementary, I warn for the second and final time the deputy leader and for the first time the member for Schubert.
