Cancer Diagnosis Error

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Final supplementary: can the minister assure the chamber and the broader South Australian community that there are no further misdiagnosis cases of this nature from The Queen Elizabeth Hospital?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:26): I am the Minister for Health and I have 40,000 employees who every day do their best to deliver public health services to South Australians—40,000 people working in very complex situations. The reality is that from time to time the high standards that they expect of themselves and that the South Australian community expects of them are not fulfilled to perfection. The fact is that I have great confidence in the SA Health system continuing to work to improve, to minimise adverse outcomes. That is what is being done to learn from the situation of Mr Burg, so that we can continue to improve the care that we provide to South Australians.
