BreastScreen SA

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the Premier. Now that the government has had 24 hours to check, can the Premier advise us how many victims from the BreastScreen SA errors are still waiting for compensation, how many settlements have been made to date, and will victims receive offers of compensation or will they be required to lawyer up?

The Hon. J.W. Weatherill interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Premier is called to order.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:23): I have received advice from SAICORP. I am not going to go into numbers, but I can say that all those who have made claims, essentially all those who have made claims, have been made an offer of compensation where that's been possible.

Mr Marshall: When?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader and the deputy leader are both on two warnings.

Mr Gardner interjecting:

The SPEAKER: No. The member for Morialta is uncharacteristically right. The member for Napier.
