          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:45):</by>  I wonder if the member is confusing a current process from any future processes. The current process—and I can't confirm if Woodcroft is part of this but there were some temporary closures of pathology centres in the context of the problems with the implementation of EPLIS. EPLIS was an IT system developed in the term of the previous government, and Professionals Australia has indicated extreme concerns about the way the government rolled out that IT program. The Hon. Tammy Franks has asked questions in this house highlighting her concerns about the rollout of that program. There certainly were some temporary closures as part of SA Pathology dealing with the consequences of that implementation.</text>
