          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:20):</by>  The KordaMentha role is a partnership with CALHN. KordaMentha will continue to work in partnership with clinicians, in partnership with SA Health management, in partnership with the board. Staff are well aware that KordaMentha is part of the financial team. They will continue to get data, particularly financial data but also in terms of the way the hospital operates.</text>
        <text id="20181129f48d1fd140a4401b90000538">I suppose one of the things that must be particularly embarrassing for the Labor Party is that, after 16 years of Labor, not only did KordaMentha give us a better insight into how the former Labor government had wasted $300 million in inefficiencies last year, they had also evolved a health network where the culture was toxic. This is meant to be a party that stands up for the worker, yet they allowed the workers in the Central Adelaide Local Health Network to be in an environment of bullying and intimidation. They completely failed their duties to the workers in the health system.</text>
