Question Time

SA Ambulance Service

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:20): My questions are to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Following the minister taking a number of questions on notice a number of weeks ago regarding the cluster of nine deaths of SA Ambulance patients, can the minister, having had time to reflect, now advise the chamber:

1. On what date did each of the nine deaths from the cluster occur?

2. Will the minister guarantee that all families of the 17 adverse incidents and the cluster of nine deaths have been informed of these incidents and whether the families have had an opportunity to provide evidence to the Hibbert review?

3. Does the minister stand by his previous answers that he has no obligations in relation to the Coroners Act?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:21): These are repetitive questions. I have taken questions on notice and answers will be provided when they are available.

The PRESIDENT: It's going to be hard for a supplementary but I will listen to it, Leader of the Opposition.
