          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:48):</by>  My question is to the Premier. On how many occasions have hotel quarantine staff, private security guards or government employees breached infection control protocols in the past two months? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:49):</by>  I don't have a detailed answer to that. I'm happy to go and get it, but the fact that we do keep an information log on every single, even very minor, breach I think is an important element of our quality assurance within those hotels, and all South Australians should be very pleased that we do have and monitor the performance.</text>

        <text id="20201117fbe9bd6f71c04aac80000436">I know that there has been a lot of concern regarding PPE. This is an area in which even the professionals need to constantly update their skills. Certainly, I know that in recent weeks there has been a great focus on the use of PPE within our hotels. This is something we are constantly looking at and identifying even minor breaches through an internal audit process and an external audit process. When we identify those breaches, we take corrective action immediately.</text>
