BOURKE Legislative Council SA Pathology The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. As a result of the government's SA Pathology efficiency targets, will the minister advise the chamber on how many staffing positions will be cut from regional SA Pathology labs? When will these cuts occur, and can the minister advise if any volunteer redundancy packages have been negotiated and/or accepted by staff in regional SA Pathology labs? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing SA Pathology The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:29): The opposition persists in trying to concoct jobs cut numbers. The former Labor government over four years failed to deliver efficiency reform in SA Pathology. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order on the opposition benches! The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: The government will continue to look at opportunities to deliver efficiencies within the high-quality services provided by SA Pathology.
