          <by role="member" id="5413">The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:57):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Is the minister aware that the KordaMentha contract is expected to cost $47 million and that the contract has no dollars spent in South Australia, with the economic benefit to South Australia listed as nil?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:57):</by>  My understanding is that the honourable member's question is based on a fallacious assumption. There is only one contract in place for KordaMentha at the moment, as I understand it, and that is a one-year contract which expires at the end of this year. Any decision to go into any further arrangement will be a decision for the government at the completion of that contract.</text>
