Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): Supplementary: how can the minister continue to assert that the EPAS is safe when three out of the five recommendations made by the Coroner in the Herczeg inquest relate to EPAS?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:33): The Coroner makes, I think, five recommendations, two of which have already been implemented. The three others present a pretty significant change to the way doctors and nurses work—their clinical practice and the way they have always provided their practice—not only using EPAS but using paper records as well. I am more than happy to have a look at the recommendations of the Coroner, but I will be taking advice from our doctors and nurses about the advisability of implementing those recommendations.
