Mount Gambier Hospital

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Health. Will the minister explain to the house why a 92-year-old lady, who was delivered by ambulance to the Mount Gambier hospital at around 7pm last Wednesday with chest and shoulder pain, was put in a taxi and sent home at a little after 2 o'clock in the morning? She was subsequently returned to the hospital, as the taxi driver could not awaken her carer.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:42): I am not familiar with the particular circumstances of the patient the member for MacKillop is referring to, and I am also a bit careful about responding about particular patient matters. However, I am more than happy to investigate—and I won't get back to the house; I will get back to the member for MacKillop personally.
