Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Hospital Beds Hospital Beds The Hon. J.E. HANSON Legislative Council Hospital Beds The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:51): A supplementary: the minister has not confirmed whether or not he has met with him, first of all. Secondly, does he regard the fact that Dr Chris McGowan, Chief Executive of the Department for Health and Wellbeing (his department), said that he could not remember if he had met with him regarding the treatment of Dennis Murphy. Does he regard that as a problem? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing Hospital Beds The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:51): Sorry; could the honourable member ask that question again? The Hon. J.E. HANSON Legislative Council The Hon. J.E. HANSON: Does he regard it as a problem that the chief executive of his department doesn't know whether the case of Mr Murphy was discussed with him as minister or not? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council The Hon. S.G. WADE: Presumably you mean discuss with him as chief executive. It would actually surprise me if the chief executive of the Department for Health was advised by each of the local health network CEOs in terms of adverse events within their networks, because fundamentally it is the responsibility of the local health network CEOs to run their hospitals.
