Women's and Children's Hospital

Mrs HURN (Schubert) (15:12): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Have any children been sedated or anaesthetised and then awoken without having had their surgery at the Women's and Children's Hospital? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mrs HURN: It was reported in the media last month that compromised surgical equipment was used on dozens of patients in the Women's and Children's Hospital, resulting in cancelled surgeries.

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:12): I don't have the details in front of me of every single surgery operation that has happened in the state and so I will—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.J. PICTON: It is serious. You have asked a serious question and I will undertake to seek that information if it is available.
