          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:11):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health. Does the minister stand by his previous comments, made on 31 May 2017, that placing SA Pathology under stress will 'only damage patient outcomes'?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:11):</by>  I don't remember the context of the statement, but I certainly do believe that SA Pathology has been through a very rough period, particularly under the administration of the former government and particularly with the botched rollout of EPLIS. That led to very significant pressures on SA Pathology staff, and the former government needs to be held accountable for that.</text>
