          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:53):</by>  I refer the honourable member to my previous answer. I speak with members of those organisations on a very regular basis. I think the nurses and the midwives in South Australia do an extraordinary job, and I speak to many nurses and midwives on a very regular basis, as well as the ambulance officers and our hardworking doctors.</text>
        <text id="2021050435c75d9b1ae247fea0000641">Can I just say that the health professionals in South Australia have stood South Australia in such extremely good stead compared to just about any other jurisdiction in the world. They have been simultaneously dealing with a global pandemic, which has challenged many other countries around the world, while at the same time very significantly transforming the health services in South Australia and investing in fixing the mess that we inherited from the previous government.</text>
        <text id="2021050435c75d9b1ae247fea0000642">I will always continue to meet with our health professionals in South Australia. As the minister replied to an earlier question, we are in the middle of an enterprise bargaining agreement negotiation at the moment. The responsibility for that, of course, is with the Treasurer, who takes responsibility for industrial relations in our government.</text>
