SA Ambulance Service

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:24): Thank you, sir, for your ruling. My question is to the Premier. When was the State Coroner first advised of the cluster of nine deaths of SA Ambulance patients late last year?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:24): I am advised that the protocol regarding any death has been followed. I don't think there's any suggestion that SAPOL wasn't advised as per the protocol.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: SAPOL is informed on behalf of the Coroner, is my understanding, certainly with the information that I have received and contained in the report.
