          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Has the minister personally spoken to and checked on the welfare of the nurse who was stabbed by a patient at Flinders Medical Centre last week, as reported by Channel 10 news last night, and what action is being taken to ensure that incidents like this do not happen again?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:20):</by>  I haven't personally spoken to the nurse but I have spoken to senior management at the Flinders Medical Centre, including nurse leadership. I have been advised that, of course, the nurse is shaken by the experience but that she is back at work and she is recovering well.</text>
