Chemotherapy Treatment Error

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Minister for Health. If Johanna Pinxteren was informed before her death in June 2015, why did the minister claim in August 2015 that no-one had died? When did the minister first become aware that Johanna Pinxteren had died as a result of the chemotherapy dosing bungle?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:19): I don't normally get informed about individual patients or their patient records or what's going on with individual patients, so I wouldn't expect to.

Mr Marshall: You stated nobody had died.

The SPEAKER: The leader is on two warnings.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: And I call to order the members for Stuart and Morphett.
