Hospital Management Investigation

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): Supplementary to the Minister for Health: when you check in respect of this matter, which has been already outlined to the parliament, will you inquire as to whether a report on that matter can be tabled in the parliament?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:49): Again, I will check. Normally, legal advice that comes from the Crown is not something that we would table or make public but, again, I am more than happy to check. There is no doubt that the action that, I think from memory, several clinicians took in changing that patient's record should not have been done. The fact is, however, that because of the electronic health record that we had, while they were able to make it nonvisible, they were not able to actually destroy the record, so the record has now been restored to how it was. I will need to get some advice on what is the latest information on what is happening in this matter.
