The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Hospital Transfers The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (15:06): No, I don't and, with due respect to that particular doctor, I think it's a ridiculous comment that a senior clinician/consultant surgeon would have no more to do for a patient than someone like me who has done a first-aid course; that's an inherently ridiculous thing to say.
