Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time KordaMentha Report KordaMentha Report The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition KordaMentha Report The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): A very simple final supplementary question: is the minister telling us he has received no advice on the number of hospital beds that 65,000 occupied bed days per annum being cut would equate to? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing KordaMentha Report The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:56): The fact of the matter is, this recovery plan does not have bed targets as the honourable member is suggesting. It's all about driving efficiencies, and driving efficiencies can actually see more services and fewer beds. The Hon. K.J. Maher Legislative Council The Hon. K.J. Maher: Have you received any advice? It's a yes or no answer, Steve. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! Leader of the Opposition, you know you cannot put words in a minister's mouth. Minister, please go on. The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: It's okay, Mr President. I didn't hear them, so it didn't affect me. The fact of the matter is that this government will continue to drive efficiencies in our health services because the longer we tolerate inefficiencies in our health system, the less our capacity to deliver health services that South Australians need. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, a supplementary? The Hon. F. PANGALLO Legislative Council The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Yes, it is, Mr President. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! I cannot hear the Hon. Mr Pangallo. The Hon. Mr Pangallo.
