Enterprise Pathology Laboratory Information System

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): A supplementary arising from the original answer: when did the minister form the opinion that he wouldn't let this become public knowledge, given that he said he had letters dating back to 23 March and had concerns raised by the organisation, and had had meetings with his department and the professional association representing them? When did he think it was going to be appropriate to raise these concerns publicly?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:50): I am gobsmacked by the question. On which planet does the member live? I can recall at least three media comments in relation to this. In relation to one event, I think there were three outlets. I will certainly look into the record, but my understanding is that concerns about SA Pathology have been in the public domain for some time.
