Hospitals, Winter Demand

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:06): Supplementary: as winter starts tomorrow, does the minister have a plan that can be seen, or are you—

The PRESIDENT: You have asked your question, 'Do you have a plan?' Is there any more?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: Do you have a plan or are you just trying to pull things together to make it look like you have a plan?

The PRESIDENT: There is inference in the second half. I am not going to allow the second half. The first part of the question is appropriate. Minister.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:06): I'm a bit bemused. I don't know why the member thinks that providing vaccinations to children under five is not real action. I don't know why the member doesn't think that establishing a 12-person discharge lounge at the Royal Adelaide Hospital is not real action. The fact of the matter is that the previous government seemed to think that you could run a power plant on press releases. We believe that you can run a state by good government and sound actions.
