KordaMentha

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:00): My questions are to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing:

1. How does the minister intend to achieve medical equipment efficiencies as outlined in the KordaMentha financial plan?

2. Can the minister guarantee medical supplies will still be available to patients when they need them?

3. Will any doctors be forced to seek KordaMentha administrator's approval before purchasing medical implants, prosthetics and other medical supplies?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): It seems as though I need to go blue in the face before the Labor Party will understand that all clinical decisions will continue to remain under the CEO of CALHN, and the clinicians that she works with. No clinical decisions will be made by KordaMentha.
