          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:31):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Does the PwC report into SA Pathology recommend a reduced savings target for SA Pathology and, if so, how much is the reduction?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:31):</by>  The Ernst and Young report in 2014 recommended savings of $42 million. The PwC report of 2019 identifies measures that, by 2021-22, will deliver in the order of $35 million. The report also indicates there may well be more opportunities to make savings as further information becomes available. Also, SA Pathology has been working on its own set of initiatives and, of course, my department will have an input and, of course, that of the Department of Treasury and Finance. In relation to budget figures, further work to substantiate the savings profile will occur during the 2019-20 budget process.</text>
