Women's and Children's Hospital

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): Supplementary: in light of the Minister for Health's inquiry in relation to these deaths, has he made inquiries as to why eight infant deaths at the Women's and Children's Hospital, reported in last year's Coroner's report, were not reported and why they weren't reported?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:21): Yes, I have, and I have had that matter reported and my department has been working very closely with the Coroner's office about that particular matter. I don't have the information at hand but, yes, that certainly is a matter that has been reported appropriately with me and has been dealt with appropriately.
