Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Health Consumers Alliance Health Consumers Alliance The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Health Consumers Alliance The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:31): Supplementary: why does the minister think that South Australia should be the only state in the country without an independent voice of patients and consumers that is funded by government? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Health Consumers Alliance The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:31): I fundamentally disagree with the member's negative anticipation of what will happen under the new model. I suspect, and I hope, that the Health Consumers Alliance will take up the opportunity to redraw their business model to make sure that they're responding to the needs of consumers right across the health networks in South Australia. My view is that, if they do so, they've got a bright future in front of them.
