          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:50):</by>  I am not aware of any briefing being given to me in relation to the report of an assault on Monday night. I would certainly be keen to ensure that any complaints are fully investigated.</text>
        <text id="2018110761e7fbd4172a438e90000178">The fact is that the doctors, nurses and other health professionals in our emergency departments deserve our respect and thanks, not aggression. During my time as minister I will be keen to ensure that SA Health works to support workers in pursuing complaints they have, including police complaints where that is relevant.</text>
