Royal Adelaide Hospital Sleep Service

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:32): Further supplementary: further clarification that the minister will not be proceeding with a sleep service at the RAH, as was agreed by him before the election? Will the minister advise whether clinicians—

The PRESIDENT: That is a supplementary, the Hon. Ms Scriven. If you have another supplementary, I will consider allowing you to ask it. Let the minister answer that one.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:33): That was a complete fabrication of what I said. I said that the former Labor government built out sleep services at the RAH. In relation to the Chest Clinic services, we have succeeded where Labor failed. As of 10 December, all Chest Clinic services are provided at the RAH. In terms of sleep services, we have not made a decision. A consultation paper was provided to clinicians and staff in December 2018 for their input prior to any decision being made. Consultation is now closed and submissions are being considered.

The Hon. I.K. Hunter: That's all you had to say 10 minutes ago.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hunter, the Hon. Ms Scriven is on her feet; show some respect for your front bench.
