Royal Adelaide Hospital

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:00): Supplementary arising from the answer: given that the minister has been made aware today of some assaults on medical staff that have occurred, is he willing to make inquiries with those authorities he has mentioned about ways that steps are being taken to prevent that occurring?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): In answer to an earlier question from the Hon. Tung Ngo, I undertook to make further inquiries in relation to reports of an assault. Fundamentally, my interest is supporting the individual health professional to pursue the issues as they think appropriate, and in that regard I will rely on briefings I receive to ensure that that occurs in this case.
