Royal Adelaide Hospital Sleep Service

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:34): Further supplementary: will the minister advise whether clinicians at the RAH agree with the proposition that there will be capacity to send people to The QEH to be treated, and has the AMA expressed a view to the minister?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:34): As I said, consultation has now closed. I look forward to the outcome of that consultation, unlike the former Labor government, which continually locked out clinicians. They locked out clinicians in the design of the Royal Adelaide Hospital. That's why we had a 60 per cent cut in outpatient services, that's why we had no inpatient sleep labs built into the facility, and that's why we had a disaster with EPAS. This government does not apologise for consulting with clinicians, and I look forward to their views being presented to CALHN and for me to be advised of the outcome of it.
