Royal Adelaide Hospital Blackout

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:16): My question is to the Minister for Health. How many patients were affected by yesterday's blackout at the Royal Adelaide Hospital? Has the minister identified the cause of the generator failure and, if so, what was it?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:17): I'm advised that some patient services were temporarily impacted by the outage but all treatments were able to resume once the power was restored. I'm advised that one surgical procedure in the affected area was underway when the outage occurred. In terms of investigations, I understand that an investigation was commenced immediately by Celsus and their subcontractors to determine the cause of the outage.
