Flinders Medical Centre

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:51): A further supplementary: based on the length of time that it takes to follow up on matters such as this, my initial question related to 'should it take longer than two days?' What I was seeking from the minister was a commitment that it should not take longer than two days to check up on matters such as this, and I am just wondering if he wants to commit to that.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:51): I do what I did in my first response, which is to reject the implication that it did take two days. Medical issues may well take time to respond to. In this case, I have no reason to believe that FMC did anything other than respond expeditiously.
