Enterprise Patient Administration System

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Can the Treasurer update the house on what the total contingency budget for this project is?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:29): No, sir, and the reason—

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Well, perhaps the Leader of the Opposition wants me to reveal more contingencies, and, of course, we do not do that. What I will be doing is working with my colleague the Minister for Health to make sure that, as the EPAS system is rolled out, sufficient funds are made available for an efficient rollout to make sure that we have the very, very best healthcare system in the land.

That is why Transforming Health is such a successful piece of policy, because we are attempting to do what no other government has done in this state, and that is actually take on the tough questions of reforming our healthcare system—the same way we are reforming our justice system, the same way we want to reform our taxation system. We are taking on the tough issues, taking on the tough questions because this government is a reformist government and it will rely on facts.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Finniss is called to order. The members for Morialta and Mount Gambier are warned a first time and the member for Unley is warned a second and final time. Leader.
