Health Services

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Can the minister update the house as to what the length of stay is and the elective surgery dashboard information should be for both Noarlunga and for the Repat, which has magically disappeared from the dashboard in recent weeks?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:23): As far as I am aware there has just been a technical issue with providing that information.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I have to say, it is a bit rich for the opposition to be making complaints about what is on the dashboard given there was never a dashboard when they were last in government. We are the government that introduced the dashboard. We are the government that introduced some transparency. Under the previous Liberal government, you wouldn't have a clue what was going on in our hospitals because it was covered with a shroud of secrecy.

Mr PISONI: Point of order: I think the minister is entering debate.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I think the minister is agitating matters from the ancient world. Leader.
