SA Pathology

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:25): Is there a private provider in South Australia that can currently provide the same service as SA Pathology?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:25): I don't know if the honourable member is asking me whether I am about to sell SA Pathology to a private company because they can provide all those services. The answer is no. We are doing what we said, which is that SA Pathology will be given an opportunity to pursue efficiencies. If they can't be delivered, then local boards will have the opportunity to seek alternative providers.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a further supplementary.
