Country Health Services

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:50): A supplementary: will the minister guarantee that there will always be doctors available for the Wallaroo and Port Pirie hospital emergency departments under the locum agreements?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:51): I am not aware of problems of us recruiting locums to Wallaroo. We are using locums at a number of hospitals, which is exactly what was happening under the former Labor government, but at least we are doing something to try to fix Labor's mess.
