Royal Adelaide Hospital Gynaecological Services

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:11): Supplementary: will the minister agree to bring back a response to the house at the next appropriate opportunity, that is the next Tuesday of sitting, given that I think it is fair and reasonable that the house does get a response as to whether this patient was transferred? We don't want the name of the patient, and if the patient was transferred and it is confirmed, then an explanation as to why different information has been given to the media by SA Health.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:11): What I am able to do is commit to the honourable member that if he would like to provide what information he has available to him directly to my office, we will make some inquiries and, if it is appropriate for us to be able to share information with him to further enlighten him in a way that doesn't compromise patient confidentiality, then we will gladly consider that.
