Hibbert Review

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:39): My question is to the Premier. What are the costs and time frames for the implementation of the Hibbert inquiry recommendations?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:39): I don't have those details with me. As you know, we only received the report in cabinet on Monday. We released it a matter of hours later. We know that there have already been some significant changes within the South Australian Ambulance Service since this report was originally instigated. We know that the South Australian Ambulance officers and paramedics worked with the auditor because they wanted to make sure that they could be providing the very best service possible in South Australia.

I don't think anybody wants to see any adverse incidents reported or investigated, so we are very pleased with the way that there has been a very cooperative relationship to make sure that we can address each one of those issues. There are 14 recommendations in the final report. The South Australian Ambulance Service accepts all 14 of those. The government, more broadly, accepts all 14 and now we will work on each of those to make sure that we can provide the very best service possible.
