Lyell McEwin Hospital Incident

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:13): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the minister been briefed on a carjacking at knifepoint of a woman when she was arriving at work outside Lyell McEwin Hospital at 5am this morning and, if so, what was the content of that briefing?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:14): I was concerned to hear about the reports of a knife carjacking in front of the Lyell McEwin Hospital. I have made urgent inquiries as to the welfare of that staff member. I am advised that the hospital is doing all that it can to support the staff member who, understandably, is quite shaken up. My thoughts are with her and her loved ones following what must have been a traumatic experience.
