Health Services

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:40): A supplementary question arising from the original answer: will the minister give an approximate time frame of what he thinks would be a reasonable request to be answered by his office and is he personally aware that the request has been made to his office for these briefings more than a month ago?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:41): I think today is 15 May and I think we were elected on 17 March, so it is less than two months since this government was elected. I must admit that our office is not fully staffed and does have a backlog in correspondence, but I can assure the honourable members opposite—and if they would like to convey this to the honourable member for Kaurna—that he will get a response.
