          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (14:41):</by>  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.</text>

          <by role="member" id="627">The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:42):</by>  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.</text>
