          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22):</by>  Further supplementary arising from the answer about the death at Flinders Medical Centre in an ambulance: the Premier also said that this death should never have occurred. Will the minister now ask the Coroner to prioritise the investigation so families and the public don't have to wait many years for an answer?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22):</by>  I want to make it clear, particularly in relation to the tail-end comment of the Leader of the Opposition, that it is completely wrong to say that SA Health only learns lessons from coronial inquests. As with any adverse event, investigations will look to see if and what the health system could have done better. As I said last week, out of respect for the family, I don't intend to comment further.</text>
