Cardiac Services

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:23): My question is for the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Will the minister advise why the government has not delivered the $6.5 million in funds promised to upgrade the cardiac labs at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and why has SA Health informed clinicians at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital that only $4 million has been allocated by the government for the cardiac labs, not the $6.5 million promised?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:23): I am surprised the Labor Party would dare put their head above the parapets on this one. This is the government which is restoring the 24/7 cardiac services that the former government withdrew. We delivered on the commitment to restore 24/7 cardiac services before our 100 days deadline, and we will continue to deliver other aspects of that policy.
