Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time KordaMentha KordaMentha The Hon. J.E. HANSON Legislative Council KordaMentha The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:13): A supplementary arising from that answer: given that the minister has outlined that he does expect improved patient outcomes out of KordaMentha's cuts to our health system, can he guarantee that the cuts will lead to more and not less outpatient appointments? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing KordaMentha The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:13): This is very much a Labor Party view of the world, that somehow patient outcomes are about the inputs. In other words, how many outpatient appointments do you issue, how much money do you put in? Patient outcomes are all affected by how you bring together those resources, whether it is financial or outpatient services, inpatient services, community services. It is not what you put in, it is what you get out. I am concerned about patient outcomes.
