Health Review

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): My question is again to the Minister for Health. Has Deloitte or any other party been contracted to review the statistical analysis underpinning Transforming Health, including the claim that South Australia's hospital death rate is 500 higher than the national average?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:35): We're going through a procurement procedure at the moment, a procurement process, for an implementation partner for Transforming Health. I don't know exactly—I'm not familiar with the exact terms of reference and whether looking at the stats is part of that. It may well be, I'm not sure, I would need to get a report back to the house on that, but as it stands, certainly not that I'm aware.
