House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Chemotherapy Treatment Error Chemotherapy Treatment Error Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition Chemotherapy Treatment Error Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is to the Minister for Health. When was the minister first made aware that one of the chemotherapy dosing bungle victims had experienced another treatment error, this time in the lead-up to a transplant in April of this year? In a submission to the chemotherapy dosing scandal select committee, the family of one of the victims provided a treatment diary which indicated the patient was subjected to four separate treatment errors during her treatment at the Royal Adelaide Hospital rather than just two incidents as previously acknowledged by the minister. Is this another cover-up? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly Playford Minister for Health Minister for the Arts Minister for Health Industries Chemotherapy Treatment Error The Hon. J.J.
