          <by role="member" id="4342">The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:44):</by>  Well, I am not a clinician, but let me say that the Minister for Health and Wellbeing has made it very clear that all patients will receive the very best care possible from SA Pathology now and into the future. It would be preposterous—perhaps that is what the shadow health minister is contemplating—for the minister to be contemplating trading off health risks in that way. He has made very clear public statements about not wanting to take any risks whatsoever with patient care.</text>
